Resolution passed by Idaho State University Faculty Senate Oct. 26. Vote was 19-5.

Whereas: Dr. Habib sadid, ISU Professor of Engineering, ISU Distinguished Teacher, ISU Distinguished Service Award Recipient, ISU research-active scholar and 22-year member of the ISU faculty has reported to the faculty the findings of the Faculty Grievance Appeals Board.

Whereas: The Faculty Grievance Appeals Board, a panel of ISU faculty peers duly selected using long-established principles and procedures to provide reasoned judgment, has found the dismissal actions against Dr. Sadid to be without merit.

Whereas: The recommendation for and pursuit of dismissal action against Dr. Sadid calls into question the administrative judgment regarding due process of ISU Provost Dr. Gary A. Olson and ISU College of Engineering Dean Dr. Richard Jacobsen, and has resulted in highly uncomplimentary depictions of ISU in the national higher education press.

Be it Resolved: The Idaho State University Faculty Senate, in the strongest possible terms, requests and expects that ISU President Dr. Arthur Vailas concur with the Faculty Grievance Appeals Board findings and restore Dr. Sadid to his position as Professor of Engineering with all due rights and responsibilities.
