Here's a story from our sister paper in Monroe about Grambling State University faculty and a vote of no confidence for university president Horace Judson.
We don't typically cover GSU but there are tons of alums in the area.
So what does a vote of no confidence mean? A lot and nothing at the same time.
The faculty can't hire or fire the president but they can send a strong message to his bosses that they don't think he's doing a good job. The bosses in this case would be the University of Louisiana Board of Supervisors.
A vote of no confidence from the faculty could mean several things -- they may think he doesn't have the skills set to do his job, might not like his politics, or even how he runs the university.
Whether this vote will mean anything will be up to the Supervisors. The next meeting is Oct. 23 in Baton Rouge.
