The Central Michigan University Board of Trustees stand by President George E. Ross and Provost Gary Shapiro after a faculty organization issued a vote of no confidence in the administrators. The Academic Senate, a faculty-led curriculum policy-making body, passed the motion at a meeting Tuesday by 52 percent, citing the administration’s refusal to abide by the organization’s resolution to halt College of Medicine progress and their disregard for shared governance, student newspaper Central Michigan Life reported. Board Chairwoman Sarah Opperman said in a statement the trustees strongly support Ross, Shapiro and the College of Medicine. “The board remains confident in the leadership of Drs. Ross and Shapiro and their commitment to the academic, personal and professional success for our students,” she said. “Likewise, the board is firmly committed to the College of Medicine, which will improve access to care and increase the supply of physicians in underserved areas, with a specific focus on training physicians who will practice in central and northern Michigan.”
