It's not up for a vote either Smootness. You keep saying "depends on how many agree with which side". That's bullshit. I don't care if the entire student body and faculty agree, if he did nothing wrong he doesn't deserve to lose his career
Who said he would lose his career? When I say it depends on how many agree, I'm mostly talking about those who actually are in a position to make a decision on the president.

If a university president no longer has the confidence of the students, faculty, and/or public, he can't effectively lead. Or if his reputation causes the reputation of the university to suffer, or their bottom line to be hurt, those are legitimate reasons to let him go.

I'm not even arguing that's necessarily fair. But it's reality in our society and happens to countless people every day. If he is a skilled and effective leader, he should be able to resolve this, one way or another. If he can't resolve it, he shouldn't be in that position.
