There's been an ongoing feud between two factions of the board of governors. This is just the latest power grab from one of the factions.

I've been at WSU through 4 presidents. While Wilson has some issues [[I dislike the use of so many outside consultants, for one) He's been by far the most effective president. The university is in a lot better shape than it was 15 years ago. The previous president [[Gilmour) was a total disaster.
