MORGANTOWN, W.Va. (AP) - All of West Virginia University's full-time faculty will get a chance to weigh in on the Faculty Senate's no-confidence vote against the president during a rare special meeting.
A motion supporting the senate's May 5 vote will be voted on at Wednesday's special meeting of the University Assembly. The motion also demands that President Mike Garrison resign over the degree scandal involving Gov. Joe Manchin's daughter, Heather Bresch.
Technically, the University Assembly has no more power than the senate, but meeting organizers hope that 1,400 voices will be harder to ignore than the senate's 114.
In a memo to faculty, Faculty Senate Chairman Steve Kite says other motions are anticipated and the assembly will consider those after voting on the no-confidence motion.
