As the president of Rider University (NJ), Gregory Dell’Omo wanted to cut the art, French and philosophy majors among others to help solve the New Jersey school’s budget shortfalls.  The faculty rebelled, passing a vote of no confidence in the president in April 2017 by a margin of three to one.  In a sign of the changes roiling academia, faculties are voting no-confidence in university and college presidents four times more frequently than a decade ago.
