"I worked for the university for 2 years. The coworkers were all of a good nature and helpful when it was needed. However, my director made the job experience. When you can make a mistake, and be built up to prevent another incident, not torn apart, that is a good place to be."

Computer Software Instructor

"ISU is a troubled university under sanction by the AAUP."

What do you like about working at Idaho State University?

"I enjoyed working with the students, many of whom were carrying full time employment and still working to better themselves. Many of my co-workers are also top notch. The area is pleasant and the University grounds are moderately attractive."

Do you have any tips for others interviewing with this company?

"Proceed with caution and read all of the articles you can find about this university that are available online - including articles about Dr. Habib Sadid's termination, and the reasons why this University has been sanctioned by the AAUP. Also read about the past histories of the President and the CFO. Decide if these are people you think you can work for and trust your future to."

What don't you like about working at Idaho State University?

"The president of the university, with the backing of the state board of education, has gutted the faculty governance structure, eliminated two faculty senates who would not rubber stamp their plans for reorganization of the university and other major changes, and retaliated against others who called for more transparency or disagreed with the reorg. The morale here is terribly low, and gets lower every year. People are either being laid off or leaving as soon as they can. State budget cuts and the culture of anti-education here sure don't help."

What suggestions do you have for management?

"Leave. Or, failing that, at least begin to produce third-party verified business cases for all of the huge changes you are making to the structure and functioning of this university and the multi-million dollar building purchases you have made which are causing hundreds of thousands of dollars of budget deficits and pulling funds from academic programs and colleges in order to balance out."
