Business faculty seeks Fedor’s resignation
By frank recio

After a two-hom meeting Man day, the faculty of the School of Business Administration voted that they had “no confidence” in Dean Kenneth Fedor and asked for his resignation.
"There was a fair numbei of faculty who had a meeting and they expressed an opinion which is advisory to [UM President Edward T. Foote II)," Luis Glaser, executive vice president and provost, said.
Fedor --aid, "The faculty has sent a -trong message reflecting the depth of their concerns, and it's clear that we need to make some changes. 1 am personally committed to work with the far ulty to identify solutions to resolve our differences." The "no confidence” vote conies after several months of internal disputes over some of the dean's plans for the school. The department of economics expressed a desire to move to the College and Arts and Sciences in October, and officially voted to move two months ago.
' If it wasn't for ¡he dean and the things he's done, economic--, would stay in the school," said a professor of economics at the time.
The department of political set ence and the department ol accounting also discussed a mm < out of the business school
“The president had set in motion, before this |vote], a pro ce -, of trying to understand whai the concerns are of the faculty ot the Rusiness School and how we can address these," Glaser -aid
This process, which includes a review of the situation by a visiting committee, headed bv former Southeast Bank Chairman Charles Zwick, will continue until "we have a much dearer picture of what is happening and we know what steps we can take to get everyone on an even playing field,” Glaser said.
"1 feel sorry for the guy," a management professor said "When you have a leader and his followers are criticizing him . the effects could lx- devastating."
