By Shelby Brown and Kyeland Jackson —
As the search for U of L’s next president continues in secret, more faculty voiced their opposition.
Faculty members said they’re “thoroughly opposed” to a closed search for the university’s next president in letters being sent to U of L’s board. The letters suggested expanding the presidential search committee and including opening the search for more input.
“We feel that severely limiting the input from faculty and other constituents will damage the efforts to cultivate greater transparency, undermine the importance of shared governance, and negatively impact the future working relationship and trust between the faculty and senior leadership,” one letter said, urging collaboration.
