UW-Oshkosh faculty vote no confidence in chancellor amid layoffs, budget challenges - Joe Schulz, Wisconsin Public Radio

Nearly three-quarters of the faculty at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh do not approve of Chancellor Andrew Leavitt’s job performance. According to the Faculty Senate, 72 percent of faculty who voted in a formal referendum said they have no confidence in Leavitt. Of the university’s 281 faculty members, 229 participated in the vote.  The no confidence vote is largely symbolic. It comes after the university laid off 140 staff members and another 76 took early retirement incentives.
