According to Vandal Venue, the motion to remove "flagship" designation passed unanimously. President Nellis posted this before the vote on Facebook: <br><div>At
the State Board meeting in Boise today, the Board proposed that the
University of Idaho remove the term “Flagship” from our mission
statement. I am VERY opposed to this change and have expressed my strong
concerns to the Board regarding this proposal. The fact remains: we are
THE University of Idaho. We were established before Idaho was a state
and we have been educating the best and bright<span>...</span><span>est
students and developing new and innovative ideas and knowledge that fuel
our state’s economy and improve our quality of life for 122 years. The
term flagship reflects the University of Idaho's unique position as the
state's first university. It also reflects the leadership role land
grant universities – established by the Morrill Act – play by virtue of
their statewide mission and their significant levels of competitive
research. Over 70% of the competitive research in Idaho is occurring at
the University of Idaho. Our charter is to serve our state and to lead.
We do that today as the state’s flagship research university."</span></div><br><div><div id="SkyDrivePlaceholder"></div><hr id="stopSpelling">From: areaman@moscow.com<br>To: vision2020@moscow.com<br>Date: Thu, 16 Feb 2012 11:45:24 -0800<br>Subject: Re: [Vision2020] SBOE<br><br>
