Dive Brief:

• The Academic Senate at San Jose State University is expected to vote on a proposal that would forbid signing contracts with outside technology providers if not approved by faculty members.
• The move is a strike against school president Mohammad Qayoumi and his ties with edX and Udacity.
• The senate is also expected to vote on a measure asking the Cal State chancellor to review governance at the university.

Dive Insight:

This is another part of a long-running saga: San Jose State University is the site of a lackluster experiment with Udacity. And the school had another unpleasant experience with MOOCs when philosophy professors said they would not use a course developed by edX. Qayoumi is expected to be in attendance when the senate meets to discuss the proposal.
