Hi-Noon: UIASB Prez Opposes Terrell

Many of you have showed your support for the University of Idaho by signing the flagship petition at change.org. Yesterday the petition reached more than 5,000 signatures. Congratulations! Though the petition reached its halfway mark, we still have work ahead of us. Milford Terrell, the State Board of Education member who proposed this change to our mission statement, will most likely be reappointed by Gov. Otter when his term ends today, March 1. Many believe Terrell represents a biased point of view on the Idaho SBOE. A BSU alumni and former President of the Bronco Athletic Association, several believe this makes it impossible for him to be an impartial member of the SBOE. If Gov. Otter chooses to re-appoint Terrell, it is clear that a biased and unfair atmosphere will continue to permeate the SBOE/ Samantha Perez , University of Idaho Student Body president.

Question: Do you agree with UI ASB prez Samantha Perez that Gov. Butch Otter should find someone to replace Milford Terrell, who proposed the “flagship” change in UIdaho’s mission statement?
