I know he had an offer. Did he seriously accept?
Two retractions as yeast researcher risks losing her PhD
A team of researchers in France has lost two papers on their studies of yeast because the work was “a complete work of fiction,” in the words of one colleague.
The papers came from the lab of Jean-Luc Parrou, of the University of Toulouse, and involved work by a former PhD student of his named Marjorie Petitjean. According to Parrou, institutional investigators are now in the process of revoking her degree, but have been delayed by the Covid-19 pandemic. We could not find contact information for Petitjean.
One of the articles, “Yeast tolerance to various stresses relies on the trehalose-6P synthase (Tps1) protein, not on trehalose,” appeared last year in the Journal of Biological Chemistry. It has been cited 54 times, according to Clarivate Analytics’ Web of Science. The other, “A new function for the yeast Trehalose-6P Synthase (Tps1) Protein, as key pro-survival factor during growth, chronological ageing, and apoptotic stress,” was published in Mechanisms of Ageing and Development in 2017. It has been cited 11 times.
The retraction notice from JBC reads:
This article has been withdrawn by Marie-Ange Teste, Jean M. François, and Jean-Luc Parrou. Marjorie Petitjean could not be reached. The corresponding author identified major issues and brought them to the attention of the Journal. These issues span significant errors in the Materials and Methods section of the article and major flaws in cytometry data analysis to data fabrication on the part of one of the authors. Given these errors, the withdrawing authors state that the only responsible course of action would be to withdraw the article to respect scientific integrity and maintain the standards and rigor of literature from the withdrawing authors’ group as well as the Journal. The withdrawing authors sincerely apologize to the readers and editors.
Wei Wei, coauthor of Alex Young on the brutal takedown of the Appel Gormley Keim paper, is an AP at Oklahoma finance. Seems he could explain little Stevie's corruption and barefaced lies to everyone at Oklahoma.
So I would be shocked if little Stevie got a job there.
OTOH, I would be shocked if little Stevie got a job anywhere.

His CV seems to indicate that he's a normal AP?
Surprised that they failed midterm review. After all, they are well connected and so would have made things happen..
Isn’t tenure at CMU assured for B and K? The president cleared them of misconduct.AB and SK both failed midterm review. The president "clearing" you of misconduct doesn't mean that the other faculty who have to approve your midterm case will clear you too.
