APSCUF, the union representing faculty and coaches at the state-owned colleges and universities has announced another faculty group is holding a no-confidence vote in the leadership of Commonwealth University’s president Bashar Hanna.
The union membership at the Mansfield Campus of Commonwealth University will hold its no-confidence vote in February. This comes on the heels of the announcement that Lock Haven’s campus union members would hold a similar vote. Mansfield APSCUF chapter president Dr. Adrienne McEvoy said in a news release that “Students and faculty are frustrated, tired and fed up with university-level decisions that have undermined our ability to give students the education they deserve.”
Last month, APSCUF President Dr. Kenneth Mash issued a statement calling for Hanna to resign or be fired. This was in response to criticism after Hanna was the subject of a wrongful termination lawsuit brought by former Bloomsburg University Dean Jeffrey Krug. He claimed he was fired as retaliation for helping an administrative assistant file a sexual harassment report against Hanna in 2017.
