Votes of No Confidence

Chancellor Gilliland resigns effective January 1  

TALLY OF NO CONFIDENCE VOTES AS OF 12/3/04

7 faculty groups at UMKC

School of Biological Sciences: 33 for, 1 against

College of Arts & Sciences: 97 for, 29 against, 5 abstentions

Bloch School [Business]: 18 for, 3 against, 2 abstentions

School of Education: 15 for, 5 against, 2 abstentions

Part-time Faculty: 38 for, 0 against

AAUP chapter: unanimously for, 1 abstention
[see immediately below]

supporting votes of no confidence
in Chancellor Gilliland and her administration

        And whereas the faculty of these units have individually and separately resisted administration assaults on the integrity of the institution;

        And whereas the Gilliland administration continues its policy of attempting to fracture and dismember the university;

        And whereas the Gilliland administration has created a culture of distrust and intimidation which has led to a loss of academic freedom;

         Therefore the members of the UMKC Chapter of the American Association of University Professors present at the November 12, 2004 meeting support the resolution of the College of Arts and Sciences to declare no confidence in Chancellor Gilliland and her administration, and to urge other Schools and units on the UMKC campus to follow suit."
