West Virginia University’s faculty members on Wednesday passed a resolution expressing no confidence in President E. Gordon Gee’s leadership as he seeks to cut programs to remedy the public flagship’s $45 million budget shortfall. The motion said Gee has not “fully and honestly” disclosed the source of the deficit, arguing that “poor planning, faulty decision making, and financial mismanagement on the administration’s own part” contributed to the shortfall. Faculty members overwhelmingly supported the motion, with 797 voting for it and 100 against.
