The University of Massachusetts at Boston’s Faculty Council voted no confidence in the system’s president and Board of Trustees on Monday, following the purchase of Mount Ida College by the flagship campus, in Amherst.
The Amherst campus announced plans last month to acquire the campus of the small, private college, which had shut down. Critics at Boston objected that the flagship was being given financial preference over the Boston campus, which is about 10 miles away from Mount Ida.
The council wrote in its declaration of no confidence that the university’s plan to use Mount Ida’s land as a satellite campus for UMass-Amherst would “complicate and weaken” the process of equal funding across the system.
