Overwhelming 94% agree that guardians of university refuse to check failed leadership

UNION, NJ…University faculty and librarians have overwhelmingly voted no confidence in the Kean University Board of Trustees for their inaction despite multiple ongoing crises that threaten the schools’ academic and athletic programs and financial stability. “We need Trustees who have the independence and integrity to make decisions in the best interests of Kean’s current and future students regardless of political influence,” said Kean Federation of Teachers (KFT) President James Castiglione. “The Trustees are charged to represent the public trust—an important commitment. This vote shows that our faculty and librarians have lost faith in the Trustees’ willingness or ability to perform their basic oversight duties as they have allowed university management to exercise unchecked power and to evade any accountability.”
