ACADEMIC SENATE
of
CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY, STANISLAUS
RESOLUTION OF NO CONFIDENCE IN CHANCELLOR REED
| WHEREAS, | CSU Management has taken the unprecedented step in imposing a contract on the Faculty for the second straight year; and |
| WHEREAS, | CSU Management approved imposition in the face of conclusions of the neutral fact-finder, who supported the positions of the Faculty; and |
| WHEREAS, | Chancellor Charles B. Reed's request for these extreme and unfair measures continues a policy of confrontation which disenfranchises the Faculty; and |
| WHEREAS, | the Faculty firmly believe that the Chancellor's Office has dealt in bad faith and has continued to present deceptive information about the bargaining process and faculty compensation both to the faculty and the media, continuing a policy of obfuscation; and |
| WHEREAS, | the actions of the Chancellor are a direct insult to those most central to the success of the CSU's mission, the instructional Faculty; THEREFORE, be it |
| RESOLVED: | that the Academic Senate of California State University, Stanislaus express no confidence in Charles B. Reed and urge the Board of Trustees to replace him with a Chancellor whose attitude toward the faculty is one of respect rather than scorn; and be it further |
| RESOLVED: | that the Academic Senate of CSU, Stanislaus urge the Faculty to hold a general referendum on confidence in Chancellor Reed; and be it further |
| RESOLVED: | that the Academic Senate of CSU, Stanislaus calls upon the Academic Senate CSU to hold a vote on confidence in the Chancellor; and be it further |
| RESOLVED: | that the Speaker of the Faculty inform the President of CSU, Stanislaus that, under these imposed conditions, the Faculty of CSU Stanislaus may only work to contract, and may refuse to act on system-wide initiatives until such time as Chancellor Reed, or preferably his successor, treats the Faculty with respect; and be it further |
| RESOLVED: | that this resolution shall also be distributed to the newspapers in the University's six-county service area along with an explanation of Chancellor Reed's actions and the reasons the Faculty feel compelled to take these actions; and be it further |
| RESOLVED: | that copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Academic Senates of the other CSU campuses, urging them to act in a manner similar to that of the Academic Senate of CSU, Stanislaus. |
1/30/01, Passed by the Academic Senate without dissent.
