Resignation of KU Hospital Chief Sparks Turbulent Battle
Editorial notes Cumming will resign as president and CEO of KU Hospital after leading since 1996. The piece cites abuse from KU Medical Center leaders and Gov. Sebelius, rising tensions over a planned affiliation with St. Luke's, and a contested severance package voted 8-3 against by Hemenway, Atkinson, and Lariviere. It warns of potential staff departures and calls for a strong, independent successor.
