This is ridiculous. One of the jobs of a leader is to maintain the peace.

Brandeis University faculty votes ‘no confidence’ in president after ‘excessive’ crackdown on student protestsBy a narrow margin, the faculty at Brandeis University voted in favor of the motion of no confidence against its university president Ronald Liebowitz partly over his “excessive” handling of on-campus protesters.In an email, Chair of the Brandeis Faculty Senate Prof. Jeffrey Lenowitz told faculty members Monday the motion passed with 159 votes in favor, 149 votes in opposition, and 26 abstentions. Lenowitz said this vote represented 76.4% of the faculty.”There were ten more votes in favor than against,” Lenowitz wrote to Brandeis’ student paper “The Justice.” “This reveals what our multiple faculty conversations and debates on it made clear: while faculty are united in their care for Brandeis and their great desire for it to flourish, they are divided on this motion.”This vote will now be taken to the Board of Trustees, who will decide whether to remove Liebowitz from his position and who will replace him.Fox News Digital has reached out to Brandeis University for comment.The motion was first introduced on May 30 ahead of the 2024-2025 school year to discuss concerns about Liebowitz’s leadership over issues like “badly handled budget shortfalls, failures of fundraising” and what faculty referred to as “excessive responses to student protests.”Brandeis University was one of multiple college campuses to be rocked by anti-Israel protesters over the Hamas terror attack against Israel last year. After protests grew nationwide, Brandeis, under Liebowitz’s leadership, chose to no longer recognize the Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) for its support for Hamas and the elimination of Israel.
