The University of Iowa’s Faculty Senate voted overwhelmingly this afternoon for a resolution expressing no confidence in the Board of Regents, which has drawn increasingly heated criticism for a failed presidential search, the Iowa City Press-Citizen reported. The vote was 62 to 1, with seven members absent. The regents ended their search for a new president last month after concluding that the finalists were unqualified. After that decision was assailed by a host of critics, the board initially said it would resume the search, with the original candidates. But last week the regents said they planned to restart the search from scratch, prompting today’s vote.
