Suspecting Plot to Oust Chancellor, Chapel Hill Faculty Gears Up for (Another) Fight
Kevin Guskiewicz, chancellor of the U. of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
Fresh off a contentious battle to force a tenure vote for Nikole Hannah-Jones, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill faculty members are fending off a possible effort to oust the campus’s chancellor.
At an emergency meeting of the Faculty Council on Wednesday, Mimi V. Chapman, chair of the faculty, laid out what she described as multi-sourced evidence of a push to remove Kevin M. Guskiewicz from the flagship’s top post. Chapman said she had been contacted by an unnamed source “who was alarmed about a meeting they had been a part of in which names were being solicited for an interim chancellor.”
