By Kyeland Jackson —
U of L’s A&S faculty assembly will demand a greater role in governance via two resolutions, citing consequences reaped from the former central administration and the $48 million budget shortfall.
The first resolution demands faculty involvement, asking a special faculty committee be created and placed in a role closely helping govern U of L. The second resolution, addressed to Arts and Sciences Dean Kimberly Kempf-Leonard, voices the faculty’s disdain for budget cutting propositions, asking furloughs, layoffs, closures and mergers for academic programs not be considered to address the budget shortfall.
