The second vote was of the members of Representative Council who voted unanimously no confidence in the president. The third vote was of the members of the Council of Chairs who also voted unanimously no confidence in the president. The vote is scheduled for December 14-16 with the result being formally presented to the IUP Council of Trustees at their December 17th meeting.
