"[6] Allen denied committing any crime, but said that matter had "taken an unfortunate turn" and asked for all the commission's members to resign due its "badly fractured" and "impotent" condition.

[7] In June 1998, Allen became the state of Virginia's chief executive for public higher education, a position he left after a "tumultuous" 13 months.
