State Executive Ethics Board rules against former WWU international studies director

The Washington State Executive Ethics Board has determined there is reasonable cause to believe that Western Washington University employee Douglas Nord violated the Ethics in Public Service Act.

The board made their determination Friday, July 8.

Nord, former director of the Center of International Studies, faces fines of potentially more than $500. The board determined Nord may have more than one ethical violation, according to the board’s “reasonable cause determination” document.
