In July InfoStream posted an article about Dr. Mary Beth Leininger’s fight to regain her seat on the Council on Education (COE). At the appeal, it was decided that Leininger will return to the COE. American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA) President Dr. Joe Kinnarney, previous AVMA President Dr. Ted Cohn, and former chair of the AVMA Board of Directors Dr. Chip Price decided that Leininger was removed from the COE for “arbitrary or irrational” reasons.
Leininger is no longer permitted to speak about or vote in COE matters pertaining to foreign veterinary school accreditation. Leininger said, “Do I feel vindicated? Yes. I felt my dismissal was not just, and the Board of Governors agreed. I’m still a little amazed at this outcome. The Board of Governors was quite straightforward and forthright about this process. They took my appeal hearing seriously. That, to me, is very encouraging."
