FARGO, N.D. (AP) _ The student representative on the state Board of Higher Education says he will bring up a proposed contract buyout of the university system chancellor at the next board meeting.
Fargo Sen. Tony Grindberg plans to offer a floor amendment to the higher education funding bill to buy out the final two years of Hamid Shirvani's three-year contract.
Sydney Hull, the state board's student member, says he has no choice but to raise the issue after the North Dakota Student Association expressed a vote of ``no confidence'' in Shirvani.
Hull says, ``It is obvious wherever you stand on the issue that there are problems.''
University system spokeswoman Linda Donlin says that a statement by board leaders expressing confidence in Shirvani ``speaks for itself.''
The board meets March 7.
