Faculty and staff members at Columbus State Community College, in Ohio, have voted no confidence in the college’s president, M. Valeriana Moeller, citing “declining employee morale” and problems with the “governance structure” that largely stem from a pay dispute.
About 63 percent of the college’s full-time faculty members and 38 percent of staff members participated in the vote, with 85 percent and 57 percent, respectively, voting no confidence, according to a report in Business First, a local publication in Columbus.
Leaders of the faculty union clashed this year with Ms. Moeller and the college’s Board of Trustees over salary and benefit changes that were imposed in September, and the union filed two complaints accusing the college of unfair labor practices, according to the report.
