Another Veterans Affairs Department Official Resigns

Another senior official at the Veterans Affairs Department has resigned following a conference spending scandal. Alice Muellerweiss, the dean of VA's Learning University, left after the agency took administrative action against her. Another employee, Tonya Deanes, was reassigned. She was deputy assistant secretary for human resources management. Her boss, John Sepulveda, resigned last year after the inspector general found VA had wasted nearly $800,000 on a training conference. The IG found the conference, which took place in 2011, had a good purpose but was managed badly.
