The re¬

comes on the
heels of two

criminal in¬

that have re¬

university: an alleged point shav¬

former Director of Public Safety
Willie Shell.
Shell announced his retirement
March 19 and officials are still in¬

A vote of no confidence is the
most severe statement that can be
made by a faculty, Melanie Bloom,
chair of the Academic Senate, said.
A no confidence vote would
likely trigger yet another investiga¬

Welty and top administrators, but
there would be no guarantee any¬
one would be removed from office.
Bloom said.
Zumwalt called for the vote of
confidence to take place no later
then April 30. But, Bloom said a
