The Supervising Board of the University of Louisiana system that oversees SELU, McNeese, Northwestern, Gramblng, Louisiana Tech., Nicholls, UL Lafayette and UL Monroe will vote on sweeping changes to their policies and procedures. If adopted, the proposals would undermine both academic tenure and joint governance at these institutions.
In an all too familiar strategy the proposals were announced when most faculty were on Summer break. In a letter addressed to the new Commissioner of Higher Education with copies to the Chair of the Board of Regents and the Governor, the Conference Exective Committee protests the proposals.
