MCV

Thanks for the feedback. There are various reasons why the no confidence in the process/procedures is the preferred way to go. The academic senate of which I am a part doesn’t set policy on workplace safety. It might be possible to target individuals, but it is unclear (due to a lack of administrative transparency) who is ultimately responsible for what we have seen take place on campus. By expressing our opinion regarding the process (with a detailed explanation of the way it has failed) we leave it to those responsible to fix the problems listed.

I need some help. I want to know if a vote of no confidence can apply to something other than a person or group. For example, if I object to the way in which my organization has handled workplace safety (i.e., they have not put in place the proper procedures, policies, safeguards) can there be a “vote of no confidence in the policies and procedures that put in place by administration X to deal with health and safety issues on campus”. Our parliamentarian is claiming that a person or group must be named, but that we can’t have a vote directed at a policy. Any thoughts?
