N.J. City University Faculty Vote No Confidence in President

New Jersey City University’s Faculty Senate voted no confidence in the university president, Sue Henderson, on Monday, citing her poor financial stewardship of the institution and lack of respect for shared governance, NJ.com reported.

The Faculty Senate approved a resolution stating that Henderson's decisions saddled the university with $67 million in debt and noting that it had a $101 million surplus when she arrived in 2012, the news outlet reported.

Despite the faculty group's vote, only the university's Board of Trustees can fire Henderson, according to NJ.com, and she appears to still have the board's support.

Joseph Scott, the board chairman, said in a statement the board remains “confident and supportive” of Henderson and her administration, NJ.com reported.

“The resolution itself was riddled with inaccuracies despite countless attempts to clarify these issues,” Scott said in a statement. “The Board and I remain confident and supportive of the President and her administration, and the work we are doing in support of the institution’s mission.”

For those of us who work on decentering whiteness in premodern fields such as classics, medieval/early modern studies, archaeology and in or on the Global South, this latest attack targeting a scholar of color exposed what many of us have been trying to draw attention to for years—that racism is deep and pernicious in the so-called liberal and woke academy. Rambaran-Olm was commissioned to review The Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe ( HarperCollins ) for the Los Angeles Review of Books because of her expertise in early English medieval literature and history, and because she is one of the leading scholars challenging the

Consdierations for Another Uncertain Semester

Blog:  Just Visiting There are going to be a lot of sick people on college campuses in the fall. This is a pretty easy prediction because there are always a lot of sick people on college campuses given the very nature of the activities that happen on college campuses. I know I am not the only instructor to look out over a classroom and see lots of empty seats as students are felled by one virus or another.  I remember a particularly bad bout of mono that caught five students out of twenty in a single class and would’ve resulted in a passel of incompletes if I gave incompletes. (More on this in a moment.) While indications are that the coronavirus vaccines are holding up well against the Delta variant in preventing severe disease, hospitalization, and death, even vaccinated people are getting sick. It is beyond frustrating that a virus that could’ve been isolated and marginalized continues to thrive, but for now, as measured by the worst outcomes, we are collectively in a di
