Daily News | Temple faculty union makes its case for a no-confidence vote against university leadership
5 minutes ago
any one or all of the following university leaders: President Jason Wingard, Provost Gregory N. Mandel and Board Chair Mitchell Morgan.at Columbia, the University of Pennsylvania and Stanford, and Mandel, who previously served as dean of Temple’s law school, have led the university for less than two years, while Morgan, founder and chairman of Morgan Properties, has been at the helm for more than three years.
They cited Wingard’s seeming lack of presence on campus, including his attending the Super Bowl in Arizona and then a Temple program in Jamaica that kept him out of town for at least several days during the strike, including when students held a walk out. Deans, the union asserted, called an “emergency meeting” with Wingard and Mandel to air concerns because Wingard had not been making himself available, the memo said.
Others have said it would send the wrong message to vote no confidence in Temple’s first Black president when he has had less than two years on the job and In the memo, union leadership laid out myriad concerns they said were cited by members during the meetings over the last week. Those concerns, they said, began when Wingard was hired and he talked about how higher education no longer is working and must change.
They cited failure to replace tenure faculty in a timely fashion, leading to “a radical decline in tenure lines” and criticized Wingard’s announcement during his inaugural address to expand Temple’s Los Angeles program while pushing budget cuts.
