Old Dominion University’s faculty senate delivered a no‑confidence vote against the president, provost and a senior administrator over a plan to convert online courses to an eight‑week asynchronous model. Faculty say the compressed timeline and limited consultation threaten pedagogical quality and academic freedom; the Board of Visitors has backed the plan, citing the need to stabilize enrollment and expand market reach. The dispute illuminates tensions between institutional strategy, faculty governance and quality assurance as universities redesign online delivery to attract nontraditional students.
