MORE UPROAR: Cincinnati Law School Dean Says Small Cabal Of Tenured Faculty Seeking Her Ouster Is Upset At Budget Cuts. Hmm. 9 out of 36 isn’t a “small cabal,” it’s a fourth of the faculty. And the provost is involved, which I doubt would happen if it were just faculty in a snit over travel paperwork.

If a quarter of the faculty is unhappy enough to go public with unhappiness about a dean, it’s usually something pretty serious, but I have no idea what’s going on here from these accounts.
