Dive Summary:
- The faculty senate of the University of Hawaii (UH) decided, 30-20, to delay a vote of no confidence in embattled President M. R. C. Greenwood.
- The decision comes in the wake of the recommendation from the senate's Committee on Budget and Administration, stating such an action would be ill-considered without further inquiry.
- The controversy stems from the highly scrutinized "Wonder Blunder", in which the UH athletic department may have been defrauded while trying to organize a fundraising concert hosted by Stevie Wonder.
From the article:
"... The faculty members voted 30-20 to postpone action on a motion for a no confidence vote after hearing a recommendation from the senate's Committee on Administration and Budget, which said such a motion would be premature.
The faculty also heard from a defiant Greenwood, who told the group that she was confidence that she had acted properly in what's become known as the 'Wonder Blunder,' the botched Stevie Wonder concert by the athletic department. ..."
