CSU Stanislaus faculty vote 'no confidence' in Shirvani

TURLOCK — Faculty at California State University, Stanislaus, overwhelmingly supported a "no confidence" vote against President Hamid Shirvani.

Results of the weeklong voting were released this afternoon — 90 percent voted no confidence in Shirvani's performance. About 90 percent of the 300 eligible voters cast ballots. Members include professors, coaches, librarians and academic administrators.

Employees have grown frustrated with what they call financial mismanagement and a continuing resistance to communicating with the public about how tax dollars are being spent, officials said.

Faculty officials will report the vote to the CSU system chancellor and board of trustees and the California Legislature, but the action has no direct impact on Shirvani's employment.
