Faculty of Case Western Reserve University's College of Arts and Sciences vote to express lack of confidence in university president, provost
The faculty of the College of Arts and Sciences at Case Western Reserve University has rendered a non-binding vote to express its lack of confidence in President Edward M. Hundert, M.D., and a separate vote for lack of confidence in Provost John L. Anderson during a special meeting today at Amasa Stone Chapel on the Case campus.
The final vote tally was 131–44 for lack of confidence in the president and 97–68 for lack of confidence in the provost, according to David Singer, professor of mathematics, who chaired the meeting.
The meeting was called by the Executive Committee of the College of Arts and Sciences in response to a petition by at least 10 percent of the faculty who had asked for the vote.
"The opinions of all of our faculty are important to me. I am grateful for the strong expressions of support I have received regarding the direction of the university, and have also learned from the criticism I have heard," Hundert said following the meeting. "John [Anderson, Provost and University Vice President] and I are resolved to lead Case; we are committed to meeting the challenges that face us. With the continued input of faculty, students, staff and alumni, together we will make the necessary decisions to build an even stronger university now and for the future."
