Inside Higher Ed: Faculty members at Indiana University’s Bloomington campus voted at an emergency meeting Tuesday to urge trustees to conduct a midterm review of President Adam Herbert, the Indianapolis Star reported. Herbert’s leadership has been questioned on a number of fronts, notably because the Bloomington campus is in its third year without a permanent chancellor.
The Chronicle of Higher Education : Faculty members on Indiana University’s Bloomington campus held an unusual emergency meeting on Tuesday to discuss their frustrations with Adam W. Herbert Jr., the institution’s president, and to voice a lack of confidence in his leadership.
At the meeting, members of the Bloomington Faculty Council voted in favor of a resolution that urges the university’s trustees to conduct a midterm review of Mr. Herbert’s performance. Mr. Herbert, who took over as president in August 2003, is about halfway through his five-year contract at the university.
