CHAMPAIGN, ? A group of 14 faculty members at the University of Illinois? flagship campus has written a letter to the board of trustees asking for Michael Hogan?s presidency to ?be ended at the earliest opportunity.?

The faculty members are circulating the ?no confidence? letter and plan to send it to trustees next week, The News-Gazette in Champaign reported Friday. It follows a half-dozen other letters sent in recent weeks.

?In our view he lacks the values, commitments, management style, ethics, and even manners, needed to lead this university, and his president should be ended at the earliest opportunity,? the letter said.

University spokesman Tom Hardy said the letter represents a small group of employees and is filed with ?inaccuracies and insinuations.? Hardy said members of the board of trustees have consistently supported Hogan.

?The trustees believe he?s doing an effective job in carrying out the agenda and goals that have been established,? Hardy said.

Law and philosophy professor Michael Moore, who is one of the letter?s authors, said that by Friday 95 faculty members had signed the letter, citing concerns about Hogan?s leadership.

The letter cites Hogan?s actions during an enrollment controversy and the resignation of his former chief of staff, among other reasons why faculty think he should no longer be president.

Hogan took the job as 18th president of the University of Illinois in 2010, chosen from a field of more than 200 candidates. His tenure started after the 2009 scandal over political influence on admissions, which led to the resignation of his predecessor, B. Joseph White.
