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."

The board meets March 7.
