Faculty prepares to vote
The Faculty Senate, chaired by President Achille Messac, has called for a general faculty meeting to take place today to discuss grievances with the administration. The major discussion points include disbanding the Faculty Senate, requesting that information be released to the Planning and Resources Committee of the Faculty Senate, and potentially conducting a vote of no confidence in President Shirley Ann Jackson.
The meeting seems to be the culmination of several years’ worth of discussion and complaints, building on last April’s attempted vote of no confidence in Provost G. P. “Bud” Peterson and reaction to the destruction of a faculty survey. The meeting will be chaired by Professor Bruce Nauman, the central figure in the survey debate last year.
Also slated for discussion and possible action at today’s meeting are a visible protest against administration policies, a complaint to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission alleging age discrimination against senior faculty, and publicity indicating that RPI is considering cutting back on pension plans. The meeting begins at 2 pm in DCC 337.
