At least one of McDavis’ critics has backed down. “I was one of the faculty members who were concerned about the direction the university was going and there was some criticism directed at the university,” says Dr. David Drabold, the Edwin and Ruth Kennedy Distinguished Professor of Physics. “I don’t want to dwell on that because I think there has been an honest attempt to address it. So, at this point, I’m hopeful. I want to see things go in a good direction.”
Despite the board’s show of support, McDavis remains square in the sights of his critics. Students will be asked to evaluate McDavis on Thursday while voting in the Student and Graduate Student Senate elections. The American Association of University Professors is this week surveying the faculty to see how they feel about McDavis, and the board of trustees will do their annual review of McDavis’s performance this month.
