“Every day we delay, the reputation of Purdue becomes more tarnished,” Roach wrote. “We need to relieve the chancellor of his responsibilities immediately and make it clear that his irresponsible, offensive actions do not reflect our values as a faculty and as an institution.” “ completed the unification without a plan, and they’ve been cutting the budget while not giving a reason why,” Roach said, adding that the administration often acts without faculty and student input. “And now, there’s nothing we can say to heal , but if we leave him in place, we’re saying to the world it’s ‘no big deal’ when it is a big deal.
