As boards and presidents are increasingly in the vanguard of change that disturbs the status quo, they may also find themselves the targets of expressions of concern, censure, and no confidence from faculty members who may be averse to a new order of things or to the manner of bringing it about. Since presidents or other chief executives are typically the object of choice and boards the intended audience, this article focuses on what boards should do when faculty members say they have lost faith in the president's policies and style of leadership. This article addresses three questions that every board should consider when the faculty formally withdraws support for the president: (1) What are the real factors driving faculty members to organize themselves to deliver a vote of no confidence?; (2) What actions should the board take, and what missteps should it avoid, in the short run following a no-confidence ballot?; and (3) If resistance to a change agenda contributed to the vote, how should the board act to sustain or restore the change momentum?
