[Vision2020] SBOE Suspends ISU's Faculty Senate

[Sue Hovey]

If the SBOE has the legal authority to do that, there is something terribly 
wrong with Idaho statutes and Ed Regs.

BOISE, Idaho - Idaho State University President Arthur Vailas, facing
mounting criticism and pressure from faculty to step down, offered his own
solution Thursday for dealing with turmoil on campus: Dissolve the Faculty
Senate.

The Idaho State Board of Education complied, voting unanimously to suspend
the senate and reconfigure its bylaws.

The decision deals a blow to faculty leaders who have been feuding with
Vailas for two years. Among other complaints, professors say Vailas has
shown an inability to effectively lead the school.

Last week, 76 percent of senate members supported a no-confidence vote and
called on Vailas to step down from a job he's held since 2006.
