Amid more demands yesterday for the resignation of West Virginia University President Michael Garrison, the search for documents in the case of Heather Bresch's defunct M.B.A. degree took an unusual twist.

The university can provide no records of phone calls Mr. Garrison made during the critical five-day period when WVU decided to award the governor's daughter a degree she did not earn.

The university does not have landline records for Mr. Garrison, assistant general counsel Shea Browning said. According to Mr. Browning, records of local landline calls are maintained for only 30 days and no long-distance calls were made using the identification number assigned to Mr. Garrison by the university.

The university's cell phone provider has been unable to produce a copy of Mr. Garrison's cellular records, Mr. Browning said.

Last month, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette sued the university for failing to comply with the state's open records law. The newspaper is seeking documents related to the school's decision to award the degree retroactively in October to Ms. Bresch, a longtime friend and former business associate of Mr. Garrison. Ms. Bresch, the daughter of West Virginia Gov. Joe Manchin, is chief operating officer of Mylan Inc.

The suit alleges WVU failed to respond in a timely manner to a series of Freedom of Information Act requests, withheld public records that are not privileged or otherwise exempt from disclosure and concealed information by intentionally misapplying exemptions under the law.

Mr. Garrison's e-mail, cell phone and landline records were among the documents that were improperly withheld, according to the newspaper's complaint.

WVU yesterday released additional telephone records to the Post-Gazette, including landline and cellular records for members of Mr. Garrison's staff.

Separately, a Charleston foundation has canceled its $2 million donation to WVU and is calling for the resignation of Mr. Garrison, joining faculty members, alumni, students and others calling for the president's departure.

The McGee Foundation had planned to contribute $1 million in art to the university and another $1 million to the Creative Arts Center, where the collection would be exhibited.

"He's messed up everything and he's just going to have to go," said John McGee, co-chairman of the foundation and former publisher of the Charleston Daily Mail.

Mr. McGee referred to Mr. Garrison as "this idiot, if you pardon the expression, who has done immense damage to the university."

R. Wayne King, president of the WVU Foundation, said yesterday that eight or nine donors who have telephoned or e-mailed him also said they were withholding donations.

"The change they're looking for is the resignation of the president," said Mr. King, who heads the $1.1 billion organization, which administers donations to WVU.

"We are ... looking to the board of governors for any action related to the situation," Mr. King said.

The board said Monday it "is in full support of President Garrison." Provost Gerald Lang and business school dean R. Stephen Sears, who participated in the decision to award the degree, announced their resignations this week. They plan to continue teaching at the university.

Eddie Barrett, a Huntington, W.Va., businessman honored last year by the WVU Foundation for his philanthropy, said awarding a master of business administration degree that Ms. Bresch did not earn has brought WVU's academic integrity into question.

"I think the situation is grave and the faculty is going to play a large part, larger than usual," said Mr. Barrett, WVU's former athletic department publicist. "My loyalty is institutional. I would not consider stopping my contributions."

Mr. Barrett said the call for Mr. Garrison's resignation by Peter J. Kalis, chairman of the Pittsburgh law firm K&L Gates, "deserves to be heard." Mr. Kalis, a WVU alumnus and Rhodes scholar, "is not a radical," Mr. Barrett said. Mr. Kalis also has called for the resignation of board of governors Chairman Steve Goodwin, the Morgantown attorney who led the search that resulted in Mr. Garrison's appointment last year.

WVU rescinded Ms. Bresch's M.B.A. last week after a panel concluded the decision to award the degree retroactively was "seriously flawed" and fraught with favoritism. Ms. Bresch said she earned it in December 1998.

The panel said WVU officials did not put enough reliance on records maintained by the Office of Admissions and Records, the university's official records keeper. Those records, which showed Ms. Bresch did not earn the degree, were trustworthy, the panel concluded.

Panel members concluded that WVU falsified Ms. Bresch's transcript to make it appear she finished her degree, adding courses that she did not take and awarding grades "simply pulled from thin air."
