Ohio University Faculty Senate voted overwhelmingly Monday night to withdraw the committee report recommending that Yusuf Kalyango keep his tenure, and ensure itâs taken out of consideration by the OU Board of Trustees, which is tasked with rendering a verdict as to whether the professor is able to keep his job.
The move raises plenty of questions about what could happen moving forward, since itâs not clear whether the Board of Trustees are required to honor the senate vote nor what evidence the body might review in its decision-making process.
The Board of Trustees, according to the faculty handbook, are only tasked with reviewing the final document sent by Faculty Senate when determining tenure revocation.
