Because AWESOME TKC TIPSTERS have a sense of humor, a recent message was sent my way was entitled "Bitch going to jail" . . . I thought it was going to be funny diatribe but ultimately it was something far more useful . . .

CHECK OUT A STATEMENT FROM THE CURRENT PRESIDENT AND CEO OF THE KANSAS CITY UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND BIOSCIENCES PLEDGING FULL COOPERATION IN THE PLETZ INDICTMENT!!!

The KCUMB Prez seems like he wants to move past the drama but as the public spotlight remains focused on the case . . . I doubt the discussion will move past the million plus dollars that she allegedly embezzled.

Anyhoo . . . Here's the message . . . Check it:



Dear KCUMB #######:

I wanted you to be aware that the Office of the U.S. Attorney of the Western District of Missouri announced that Karen Pletz, former president and chief executive officer of KCUMB, has been indicted by a federal grand jury. KCUMB will continue to cooperate fully with requests regarding these legal proceedings.

While legal matters remain ongoing, it is important to remember that the University is fully focused on our primary business of educating students in osteopathic medicine, the biomedical sciences and bioethics.

Our students continue to make great strides, as evidenced by the recent residency match for College of Osteopathic Medicine students. KCUMB students look to continue to make a difference in primary care, with 68 percent of those who matched electing for a primary-care residency and 38 percent matching to another discipline.

In addition, the College of Osteopathic Medicine has already filled next fall's incoming class of first-year osteopathic medical students, the earliest the University has ever accomplished this important task. The College of Osteopathic Medicine also has a substantial wait list of qualified candidates, ensuring that KCUMB remains a much sought after school for prospective osteopathic medical students.

With graduation approaching in mid-May, we continue to look forward to great accomplishments from our students. As always, we appreciate the support and dedication that our alumni demonstrate on behalf of our institution.

Best Regards,

H. Danny Weaver, D.O.

President and Chief Executive Officer
Kansas City University of Medicine and Biosciences
