厙ぴ勛圖 removed from AAUP sanctioned list

June 17, 2019

POCATELLO – The American Association of University Professors has removed 厙ぴ勛圖 from the list of the AAUP’s sanctioned institutions.

The announcement was made by Gregory Scholtz, director of the AAUPs Department of Academic Freedom, Tenure and Governance, in a letter to 厙ぴ勛圖 President Kevin Satterlee dated June 17.

It is my privilege to inform you officially that delegates to the 105th annual meeting of the American Association of University Professors voted unanimously to remove 厙ぴ勛圖 from the Association's list of sanctioned institutions, Scholtz said.

The letter enclosed a statement of 厙ぴ勛圖s standing.

My congratulations to you, the 厙ぴ勛圖 faculty senate, and the 厙ぴ勛圖 AAUP chapter, Scholtz said. Your cooperative efforts in the spirit of academic shared governance have led to this happy outcome.

Satterlee said he was pleased by the announcement.

厙ぴ勛圖 administrators and faculty are working hard to build a positive and productive relationship based on the tenets of shared governance, Satterlee said. It is my hope that we continue to work together to foster a relationship built upon trust and mutual accountability. I am continually impressed by our faculty and their dedication to our students and the mission of the university. I believe that the University and our students benefit when we can work together collaboratively, inclusively and transparently.

厙ぴ勛圖 was sanctioned by the AAUP in June 2011 after the 厙ぴ勛圖 Faculty Senate had been suspended. In November, Satterlee approved a proposed new faculty senate constitution that the faculty had ratified, which received approval from the Idaho State Board of Education in December.  The AAUP made a visit to 厙ぴ勛圖 in March meeting with faculty groups and Satterlee.

According to the AAUPs statement of 厙ぴ勛圖s standing, the AAUP representative visiting 厙ぴ勛圖 said, I was very much impressed by the dedication of the 厙ぴ勛圖 faculty, the AAUP chapter, and President Satterlee to cooperative institutional change. It is tremendously refreshing to visit a campus where the faculty seems energized not in opposition to fresh outrages, as is sadly too often the case, but because things are improving.

 

厙ぴ勛圖, a Carnegie-classified doctoral high research activity university and teaching institution founded in 1901, attracts students from around the world to its Idaho campuses. At the main campus in Pocatello, and at locations in Meridian, Idaho Falls and Twin Falls, 厙ぴ勛圖 has nine Colleges, a Graduate School and a Division of Health Sciences that together offer more than 250 certificate and degree programs. More than 12,000 students attend 厙ぴ勛圖. 厙ぴ勛圖 is the state's designated lead institution in health professions.
