Description
Summary:The university's chapter of the American Association of University Professors released a statement saying that only "a pre-conceived determination by the regents to appoint Mr. Harreld regardless of campus reactions to him can explain his hiring," and that "the assurances of fairness and transparency in the hiring process given to us by the regents, the chair of the search committee, the search firm, and the Faculty Senate leadership were untrue." The graduate-student union took an even firmer stance, saying that Mr. Harreld's selection "shows how far the Branstad-appointed board is willing to go to destroy public education at the University of Iowa," and that the hiring process had been "hijacked" by the regents. Hackers may have obtained personal information of 79,000 California State University system students -- including their relationship status and sexual identity -- by breaking into the servers of an organization the system had hired to provide training to prevent sexual assault.
