In November, the university faculty will be given a chance to voice whether they have confidence in the Rev. Kevin Wildes, university president.

A motion to call for the vote was raised during the October meeting of the University Senate, the university body representing the interests of the teaching faculty.

The motion for “no confidence” was not the only issue on the October agenda, but was by far the most talked about motion.

Joelle Underwood, associate professor in chemistry, brought the motion up for debate and was seconded by Connie Rodriquez, chairwoman of the classical studies department.

The Senate members were then allowed to voice their opinions on the matter, whether for or against the motion to vote.

By the end of the meeting, the Senate decided to put the vote on the agenda for next meeting on Nov. 19.

The Senate does not have the power to vote Wildes out of his position, but a majority vote of “no confidence” from them could prompt the Board of Trustees to look into the matter.

However, at its latest meeting, the board voted to give its full support to Wildes.

This is the second time in Wildes’ career as Loyola president that a vote of “no confidence” has been brought forward by the University Senate, the former being the semester following Hurricane Katrina and the Pathways reforms.
