Lawsuit: ISU faculty free speech rights violated
POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) - Faculty leaders at Idaho State University claim administrators violated their free speech rights when blocking them from sending emails to the campus community.

The Idaho State Journal reports a complaint filed Tuesday alleges the university started blocking emails from faculty leaders in November, following a disagreement over the adoption of a new faculty constitution.

On Tuesday, a university spokesman said administrators had not yet seen the complaint and would respond in "due course."

The state Board of Education is expected to discuss faculty governance issues at ISU during a meeting Thursday in Boise. The board voted last year to dissolve the university's previous Faculty Senate, which been at loggerheads with school President Arthur Vailas.

The university then elected new, temporary faculty leaders to adopt a constitution and bylaws.
