"A picture of something that has had a huge impact on your life recently"
This is Arthur Vailas, the president of my university.
He is an idiot. His abominable, supremely unwise decision to suggest the suspension of our faculty senate (which, for the sake of credit where credit is due, wouldn't likely have caused much if it weren't for Idaho's equally abominable State Board of Education) has made a huge impact on everyone who works or studies at Idaho State. With this action, the president has claimed absolute power here, and has proven that the concerns and opinions of the faculty mean very little to him, if anything at all. The implications of this are terrifying. Yet I, many other students, and a large majority of the faculty are doing everything in our power to prove to Vailas that his persuasion that he has support within the school is tremendously false and to make sure that the proper action is taken to set things right at this university.
I have a lot of faith in our power.
