Copied from studentsagainstmcdavis.com He's OU's President and I hate virtually everything he's done here, he's ruined this university and he's the main reason why people are transferring out of this school at a rapid rate.
Frustrated with McDavis? Had enough of the sports cuts, alcohol policy, tuition hikes, and ignoring student opinion? Since coming to Ohio University in 2004 Roderick McDavis
has failed to respect the interests of students.
Now it's time to do something about it. On Thursday May 17th, McDavis will be facing a NO CONFIDENCE vote by the student body in Student Senate elections. Make your voice known by voting NO on Question 4 of Issue 1!!
McDavis is bad for students, bad for Athens, and bad for Ohio University.
Your vote will send a clear message to the Trustees that McDavis is not representing the interests of students.
On Thursday, May 17th, let the voice of students be known by voting NO CONFIDENCE in President McDavis.
Please invite your friends so we can continue to grow!

Sample Ballot:
Please answer the first three questions on a scale of one to five:

(1-Strongly Disagree) (2-Disagree) (3-Neutral/Unsure) (4-Agree) (5-Strongly Agree)
DO YOU HAVE CONFIDENCE IN PRESIDENT MCDAVIS' ABILITY TO LEAD OHIO UNIVERSITY?
(Yes or No)
Now, the Faculty voted 85% in no confidence towards McDavis, I expect the student body to do something similar. But will anything actually come out of this? Or is it like the stupid bill that got pushed through over Iraq?
All I want is this guy out of here and the alcohol policy reverted back to what it used to be, along with the reinstatement of the cut sports and halting the huge spike in tuition. My friend got arrested for public intoxication as he was walking back to his dorm! The catch? HE'S 21! And he's gonna be suspended! SUSPENDED FOR BEING DRUNK WHEN HE'S 21. What crap.
