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.

Craig Walker's the only good thing about that staff. I agree with Tim-go away Garrison.

Why waste more time on the issue. That big boy Garrison is so thick headed - he does not get that he is no longer welcomed at our flag ship university. Goodwin got half a hint - decided to step down as Chair at the end of his term, but will not go away all together. Garrison follow suit and lets get a president that understands the university system and the true educational process. Let make the world once again proud of a degree earned at WVU. GO AWAY GARRISON and take your staff with you! For the sake of WVU and the State of West Virginia.
