A national group of professors has voted unanimously to sanction the University of Iowa over the process used to select its next president, The Des Moines Register reported. Delegates to the American Association of University Professors national meeting in Washington, D.C., voted Saturday to sanction UI for “substantial non-compliance with standards of academic government” during the process that led to last year’s hiring of Bruce Harreld as president of the university. Delegates from the AAUP’s Iowa chapter said the impact of the sanction vote may not be felt immediately on campus, but recent history at other schools suggests that it will begin to make it more difficult to attract and retain high-quality faculty members.
