Faculty Senate Resolution
(Unanimously Approved)

September 29, 2005

Resolution:
The Faculty Senate has lost confidence in the leadership of Benjamin Ladner and urges him to resign as President of American University. If his resignation is not forthcoming shortly, we recommend that the University Board of Trustees remove Dr. Ladner from office immediately.

Resolution:
The current situation with regard to President Ladner has clear implications for the present governance structure of the university. Although we do not believe it would be productive to address these issues at the present time, the Senate resolves to turn to them at the earliest possible date.
