Temple University's faculty union will hold a meeting on March 17 to vote on whether they will hold a no-confidence vote in the university's president and other top officials amid heightened violence and students speaking out, reports the PHLBizJournal.
The move comes following an emergency town hall meeting of 500 members of the Temple Association of University Professionals on Friday, followed by a session of the organization's executive committee on Monday.
The 2,500-member Temple Association of University of Professionals will next hold a meeting on March 17 where all members of the collective bargaining unit will be able to vote on whether to authorize the vote of no confidence. If the motion is successful, the organization will initiate an official vote of no confidence the following week.
It would be the first time the union holds a no-confidence vote since it was established in 1973. The vote would be a symbolic statement and cannot force a resignation.
