Old Dominion University’s Faculty Senate delivered a 41–7 no‑confidence vote this week targeting the president, provost and vice president for digital transformation after administrators moved to convert all online courses to an eight‑week asynchronous model beginning fall 2026. Faculty described the change as rushed, pedagogically unsound and imposed without meaningful consultation. Administrators say the compressed model is a strategic response to enrollment declines and is intended to attract new student populations. The university’s Board of Visitors publicly rejected the no‑confidence vote, underscoring a governance split that raises questions about shared governance, academic freedom and the pace of digital transformation. The conflict — backed by an AAUP letter earlier this year — is now a live test of trustee authority versus faculty oversight on curriculum, with national implications for how public universities restructure online programs under financial pressure.
