The chief of Washington State University's police department has been demoted, following a university investigation that concluded he used his work computer to view and forward inappropriate e-mails. WSU announced the demotion of Steve Hansen, along with the resignation of Assistant Chief Scott West, on Friday afternoon. According to a report prepared by the university auditor and depositions in a court case, Hansen looked at sexually explicit e-mails that were sent to him, forwarded them to West, and invited other members of the department to view them.
