The University of Northern Iowa’s Faculty Senate has voiced support for faculty at the University of Iowa.

The UNI Senate agreed on a statement that showed solidarity for a no confidence vote by the UI Faculty Senate in the state Board of Regents.

The statement calls on the regents to adhere to standards of shared governance and transparency following concerns related to the hiring of incoming President Bruce Harreld. The UNI Senate approved the statement on Monday.

In addition to UNI, several other faculty governance groups at other universities have come out in support of the UI’s.
