Professors at Montgomery College voted no confidence late Thursday in Brian K. Johnson, president of the prominent Maryland community college since 2007. About half the college’s full-time faculty members overwhelmingly passed a resolution criticizing Mr. Johnson’s leadership and alleging that he has consistently skipped important meetings and events.
The resolution urged the college’s Board of Trustees to dismiss Mr. Johnson. Trustees were not available today, but they have scheduled a closed meeting next week to discuss the matter.
Mr. Johnson was unavailable for comment today. But in a written statement distributed today to the campus, Mr. Johnson said he remained committed to serving the college, which opens its fall semester on Monday.
“I remain focused on our students and ensuring that they receive the high-quality education and services that they expect and deserve,” he said. “I do not want today’s news to distract anyone from what must be done to open the college on Monday.”
