The decision to make Daniels the next Purdue president continues to draw strong reaction.
Some are questioning whether it is a conflict of interest. Daniels appointed most of the trustees who will be voting this morning.
A small number of people have signed an online petition asking that Daniels no longer be considered.
But many are calling the selection a coup for Purdue.
They cite Daniels' business background and ability to raise money as some of the key assets he would bring to the position.
