Update

The call for a vote of no-confidence has now been sent to the senate anonymously. We shall see if it makes it to the agenda. Word about this blog is getting around. See the comments after the initial post below, and continue spreading the word.

  1. It will not unless you have the courage to attend an bring it up under new business. I would suspect that a motion to vote no confidence would receive at least a 70 - 80% approval.
    By the way, part of the motion should also ask that every administrator above the rank of department chair, every person in the chancellor's or provost's office, etc. (including his "chief of staff" leave the room during the discussion and vote, except that Dr. Ryan should be given 5 minutes to make a statement if he so desires. Or you may with that the vote be by ballot rather than show of hands.
    Frankly, I would expect that Dr. Ryan would be relieved to be relieved.

  2. Would be nice if someone who is planning on retiring would move a vote of no confidence and someone else who is retiring would second the motion at the upcoming senate meeting, thursday,9/16. Remember, without large #s of faculty contributing to the retirement plan, the retirement plan's solvency is in danger -- so a strong chancellor is needed to keep us retirees' income safe.
