Chancellor Katehi Receives Overwhelming Faculty Support
Letter to the Editor – The Davis Enterprise
We, the undersigned UC Davis faculty, support the free exchange of ideas on
campus and students’ right to peaceful protests. We are appalled by the events
of Friday, Nov. 18 in the Quad, but heartened by the Chancellor's apology and
her commitment to listen to and work on the students’ concerns. We strongly
believe that Linda Katehi is well-qualified to lead our university through this
difficult healing process and oppose the premature calls for her resignation; this
is not in the best interest of our university.
