Varsity president faces censure
The results of a campus-wide faculty survey could lead to an eventual vote of no confidence for University of Tennessee (UT) president John Petersen, reports The Daily Beacon.
Also, a special senate meeting with Petersen will take place where senators will get first shot at voicing their concerns with Petersen, and other faculty members will be allowed to ask questions at the end of the session if time permits.
If the Senate does hold a vote of no confidence, it will be the second such dissent of UT's headman in the last four months. The Senate cited a "lack of confidence" in Petersen's handling IT governance issues in October.
