 The University of Minnesota's Faculty Senate gave a vote of no confidence yesterday to Interim President Jeff Ettinger and Provost Rachel Croson in protest of their actions regarding the hiring of a director of the Youth Center for Holocaust and Genocide Studies. A search committee offered the position to Raz Siegel, a historian who has said Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. After faculty and community backlash, Ettinger paused the hiring process. In yesterday's meeting, he defended his decision.
