Old Dominion University’s Faculty Senate passed a no‑confidence resolution against the president, provost and vice president after administrators announced a systemwide move to shift all online undergraduate and master’s courses to an eight‑week asynchronous format starting fall 2026. The resolution, which passed 41–7, accused leaders of sidelining shared governance and compressing 16‑week courses in ways faculty say threaten pedagogy and academic freedom. University trustees responded by defending the reorganization as necessary to arrest enrollment declines and appeal new student populations. The dispute includes interventions from the American Association of University Professors and has escalated into a public governance standoff. Clarification: The eight‑week model replaces traditional semester pacing with compressed, asynchronous modules intended to attract adult and nontraditional students.
