self-serving and wasteful of taxpayer dollar. Berscheid had been granted $84,000 by the foundation to research why people fall in love. The scandal "called into question use of public funds in scientific research." A few years later, Hatfield left the business department and Berscheid took over Hatfield's job as Student Activities Bureau. Due to an all-male faculty, Berscheid expected an early retirement but then was offered a professorship in the psychology department. Berscheid remains on the Psychology Faculty at the University of Minnesota. Significant publications Books: Berscheid, E., & Regan, P. (2005). The psychology of interpersonal relationships.
