University of Idaho Athletic Director Rob Spear has been granted permission to attend the ASUI Senate’s meeting Wednesday night, where the student government will vote on a resolution that asks he be fired.
Spear was placed on a 60-day, paid administrative leave Tuesday by President Chuck Staben. He isn’t allowed on campus except with Staben’s permission. Spear requested he be allowed to attend the meeting and permission was granted, a university spokeswoman said. The university hopes Spear’s presence will help the students conclude their process.
Spear is under fire for mistakes his department made in handling three complaints by women against a football player in 2012-13.
