JSU Faculty Senate President Dr. Dawn Bishop McLin confirmed the vote on the resolution to "move forward with bringing concerns" to the campus community and stakeholders. The majority of voting members agreed with the entirety of the no confidence proclamation, McLin said. The faculty senate is calling for a "restoration of shared governance, transparency, accountability, and academic democracy at Jackson State University." The faculty senate noted that, "these university leaders ... have exhibited a continuous pattern of failing to respect shared governance, transparency (and) accountability., she continued. They have "worked outside of professional norms that have broad implications for the campus climate" affecting the reputation of JSU. The faculty senate expresses a "continued willingness to engage in any forum to yield remedy to the issues shared by its body," McLin concluded. President Hudson responded on Jan. 27 with a statement saying he is committed to the university. (Clarion Ledger 01/27/23)
