Davidson College faculty on Thursday expressed disappointment over the Board of Trustees’ recent decision to reaffirm a requirement that the college’s president be affiliated with the Presbyterian Church USA. In a resolution adopted overwhelmingly at a faculty meeting, professors also said they oppose a college requirement that 80 percent of board members be “active Christians.”
Meanwhile, faculty were told before Thursday’s vote that the college’s Alumni Board also had issued a statement of disappointment with the trustees’ April 17 announcement.
