[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Cav Daily reports:
191 concerned faculty request the University presidential search to restart
The faculty members asked the newly-constituted Board of Visitors to address unanswered questions about Beardsley’s presidency and pause the University provost search

Yikes.

[i]"The faculty also wrote that Beardsley’s employment contract is a “poison pill contract.” If Beardsley’s employment were to be terminated without cause, he is entitled to receive payments equal to his salary for 12 months as well as paid sabbatical leave for up to 12 months — Beardsley’s base salary for 2026 is $1.3 million.

“It is unusual, perhaps unprecedented, for such a contract to be used in appointing a president by the University’s governing Board, the more so because we are a public institution,” the faculty wrote. “By making it prohibitively expensive to dismiss Beardsley, the contract effectively undercuts the Board’s and by extension the governor’s, the legislature’s and the taxpayers’ right and obligation to oversee the operations of the University."[/i]

Of course they did.
