Here's a news item from the Associated Press: POCATELLO, Idaho (AP) — A vote held by the faculty at Idaho State University shows a lack of confidence in school president Arthur Vailas. Faculty at the Pocatello-based campus held a no-confidence vote Thursday, and results released Friday show 76 percent of faculty on campus lack faith in his leadership. Based on the results, faculty leaders called for his resignation. Vailas was hired to lead the school in 2006 but has had difficulty winning the support of the faculty, especially in the last two years. Campus administrators say President Vailas remains committed to the job and focused on his work with faculty, students and staff. Top officials blamed the discontent on a negative campaign led by few and based on half-truths. Earlier this month, Vailas won the support of the Idaho State Board of Education.
