Faculty Vote No Confidence in Idaho State Provost

Faculty members have voted no confidence in Provost Gary Olson, The Idaho State Journal reported. Olson wasn't available for comment about the vote. He has been the chief proponent of a reorganization plan that would merge many of the university's colleges, a move he maintains would save money. Many faculty members either dispute the estimated savings or say that the plan would increase administrative oversight in ways that would not help the university.
