Transylvania Faculty Vote No Confidence in President

Faculty members at Transylvania University have voted, 68 to 7, no confidence in President Owen Williams, The Lexington Herald-Leader reported.

Professors also criticized the president's management style. Trustees responded with a unanimous vote expressing confidence in Williams.
