The faculty association at Triton College, in River Grove, Ill., has unanimously voted no confidence in the two-year college’s president, Patricia Granados, saying that she shuts faculty members out of the decision-making process and blames other administrators for her missteps.
Faculty members also unanimously voted no confidence in the college’s vice president for academic affairs, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. About 75 percent of the college’s full-time faculty participated in the vote, which took place last week.
The president of the college’s Board of Trustees expressed strong support for Ms. Granados and assailed the vote as a “misguided attempt to discredit the president and her administration.”
The vote is the latest in a string of no-confidence motions that have passed this spring at a number of two- and four-year institutions (The Chronicle, June 23).
