"The chancellor of the University of Missouri at Kansas City, who received no-confidence votes from several faculty groups in recent weeks, announced on Friday that she was resigning."

". . . she presented an ambitious strategic plan that she referred to as the university's "transformation" (The Chronicle, November 1, 2002)."

"She had an enormous PR campaign here," said Alfred F. Esser, a professor of biological sciences. "But when you looked, there wasn't anything there."

". . . critics claim that Ms. Gilliland's initiatives had an "anti-intellectual" tone and often put concerns of local business leaders over those of faculty members."

"I think she did a good job with the business community, but this is an educational institution," said James R. Durig, a chemistry professor and the chairman of the faculty group of the College of Arts and Sciences. "I think she ignored the faculty here."

"Among the reasons behind the negative vote, Mr. Durig listed the chancellor's decisions to give faculty raises in only some departments, to cut faculty positions in arts and sciences, and to build a costly new health-sciences building, which he said was "essentially a 5 percent tax on academics." Several other faculty groups and the local chapter of the American Association of University Professors also recently announced that they no longer supported Ms. Gilliland."
