Faculty at Old Dominion University voted overwhelmingly no confidence in the president, provost and vice president after administrators moved to compress all online courses into eight‑week asynchronous terms beginning fall 2026. The Faculty Senate cited rushed implementation, lack of faculty consultation and threats to academic freedom; the resolution passed by a 41‑7 margin. University trustees rejected the vote and signaled the Board of Visitors will proceed with the redesign, setting up a prolonged governance standoff between faculty and trustees. The dispute highlights mounting tensions over rapid curricular redesigns intended to boost short‑term enrollment that many faculty say undermine pedagogy and shared governance.
