The Journal-Star is running an article stating that UNL Chancellor Rodney Bennett may be on the way out, and the Faculty Senate today approved a non-binding vote of no-confidence in the chancellor 60-14. (A move to table the motion to a future meeting was defeated.) This is the first such vote at UNL. At several other schools where a similar vote occurred, the leadership was soon out the door.
The Faculty Senate is upset over Bennett’s handling of the budget reductions.
