Hagerott's request came on the heels of his decision to fire vice chancellor Lisa Feldner

Board member Mike Ness said that he wanted to talk about Hagerott and possible legal action that could be related to the events of the last couple of weeks.”

Hagerott earlier this week asked for an investigation into what he said was pressure from people who wanted interim UND president Ed Schafer punished for endorsing a governor candidate.

Hagerott’s request came on the heels of his decision to fire vice chancellor Lisa Feldner.

The motion by Ness failed because of a 4-4 vote.
