UMKC AAUP chapter resolution, passed November 12, 2004,

supporting votes of no confidence
in Chancellor Gilliland and her administration

"Whereas Chancellor Gilliland and her administration have consistently pursued a policy of aggression against the faculty of UMKC, circumventing legitimate faculty governance bodies and targeting one academic unit after another;

        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."
