APSCUF-KU Rep. Council Authorizes Vote of No Confidence

APSCUF-KU President Mike Gambone sent the following email to faculty this morning:
Colleagues,

Yesterday, the APSCUF-KU Representative Council addressed two motions relevant to our current discussion on the quality of education, working conditions, and governance at Kutztown University.

The motion to authorize a vote of no confidence passed. The final vote was:

45 yeas
15 nays
4 abstentions

A motion for a vote of no confidence in the APSCUF-KU Executive Committee failed. The final vote was:

49 nays
7 yeas
2 abstentions

The vote of no confidence will be held during the first week of March. Specific details will be made available next week. We will also be asking for volunteers to man the polling place. I will be contacting the University Senate and AFSCME to solicit their help in counting ballots.

We will also be scheduling additional public meetings to discuss the substance of the bill of particulars. Specific times and locations will be forthcoming as soon as they are available.

In the meantime, APSCUF-KU invites the president and the board of trustees to recognize and constructively resolve the many problems affecting our campus.

Mike Gambone

Why is Bill Bateman filling my in box with his pathetic, long winded, bloviating?

He is retired and should butt out.

If he wants to do something do it with APSCURF and quit bothering members of APSCUF.

The more he fills my in box, the more he is making people who want to vote no to reconsider and possibly vote yes on the no confidence.

Intersting perspective from a supposedly "educated" person I would assume. Simply shows the "coal miner" union mentality that APSCUF has taken on at this university. Scholarly? collegial? collaborative? Hardly.

I think the students need to have a vote of no confidence in this faculty... cause lord oh lord... they've let me down...
