Dive Brief:

• Westfield State University President Evan Dobelle retired Friday.
• Dobelle had already been placed on paid leave Oct. 17 over allegations of inappropriate spending.
• The situation was getting ugly: As the university was investigating Dobelle, he had sued the school alleging he was the target of a “guerilla war.”

Dive Insight:

This is not over by a long shot. Dobelle’s suit against the university, the board of trustees and state education officials remains in place, and the university is likely to continue its investigation over his spending.
