Chicago Tribune: SIU Edwardsville faculty group urges Poshard to step down

The faculty leadership group at Southern Illinois University’s Edwardsville campus called Thursday for embattled university President Glenn Poshard to resign.

The 45-5 vote by the Faculty Senate comes a week after a separate faculty committee at the university’s sister campus in Carbondale concluded that Poshard, who was found to have committed “inadvertent plagiarism” in portions of his master’s and doctoral theses, should fix his work but remain as president.
