No confidence in McKinney

(I, along with 3 other members of consumer organizations, had an opportunity to sit with Chancellor Mike McKinney when he was the Chief of Staff for Governor Perry to discuss mandatory binding arbitration. He was a complete arrogant jackass. Seems that the Texas A&M faculty thinks so too.) From the Valley Morning Star:

COLLEGE STATION - The Texas A&M University faculty has given the system chancellor a ``no confidence'' vote.

The Faculty Senate passed a resolution directed at A&M System Chancellor Mike McKinney just weeks after the resignation of university President Elsa Murano. Murano, the first female and first Hispanic in the university's history, resigned after McKinney gave her first 17 months on the job a dismal review.

The troubles with Murano came shortly after McKinney said the regents were considering combining his job with that of the university president to save money. That suggestion angered many faculty members.

I think anonymous is making a reference to the green party wacko named cynthia mckinney.

And trying to distract from the fact that the right wing faculty at A&M couldnt stand Chancellor McKinney and had a no confidence vote against him.
