<DIV style="RIGHT: auto" dir=ltr>According to Vandal Venue, the motion to remove "flagship" designation passed unanimously. President <SPAN id=misspell-8 class=mark>Nellis</SPAN> posted this before the vote on <SPAN id=misspell-9 class=mark>Facebook</SPAN>: <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 <SPAN id=misspell-10 class=mark>Morrill</SPAN> 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>
