The dean of Temple University's business school was ousted this week after an outside investigation found employees had inflated student test scores and grade point averages used in calculating a closely watched M.B.A. ranking—a brewing controversy that triggered a request Friday by the Pennsylvania attorney general for a state probe.

Temple's Fox School of Business held the top spot in a U.S. News and World Report list of over 200 online master’s in business administration programs for four consecutive years, including the 2018 rankings. In January, the publication revised the school's position to “unranked” after being notified by Fox of its inaccuracies. The rankings are based on universities' self-reported data about the number of students submitting standardized test scores to gain admission and other factors, such as average debt held by its graduates.
