Brandeis University faculty votes 'no confidence' in president after 'excessive' crackdown on student protests
Fox News
Brandeis University voted in favor of a no confidence motion against university President Ronald Liebowitz after his handling of campus protests last year.
"There were ten more votes in favor than against," Lenowitz wrote to Brandeis’ student paper "The Justice." "This reveals what our multiple faculty conversations and debates on it made clear: while faculty are united in their care for Brandeis and their great desire for it to flourish, they are divided on this motion."

This vote will now be taken to the Board of Trustees, who will decide whether to remove Liebowitz from his position and who will replace him.
