A former and a current West Virginia University employee have filed a federal lawsuit saying the university's board of governors and others failed to restore their reputations following an academic integrity investigation that didn't find misconduct.
Daleen Berry, a
2008 Fairmont State University
graduate and the award-winning author of the memoir "Sister of
Silence," is the recipient of West
Virginia's first "Pearl S. Buck
Award, Writing for Social Change."
Berry's
second book, "Lethal Silence," due to be published later this year,
took the first-place honor at the annual West Virginia Writers Conference, held
June 8 and 9 at Cedar Lakes Conference Center.
"Lethal Silence" looks at several case studies involving families
whose lives were shattered by a lethal silence that left children dead and the
role such stressors as child sexual abuse, teen pregnancy, depression and
domestic violence played.
This is the first time the
Pearl Buck category has been included in the competition, and the winners were
sponsored in part by the Pearl S. Buck Birthplace Foundation.
Edwina Pendarvis, a professor
emeritus at Marshall University,
judged the entries. She said Berry's
book is important because it will make a difference in people's perceptions of
these social issues.
During her time at Fairmont
State, Berry was
editor of the student-run newspaper, The Columns.
