According to the results of a resolution released to faculty on Thursday, the Davis Division of the Academic Senate voted no confidence in retiring President Michael V. Drake. Of 3,339 eligible voters, 401 voted in favor of the resolution, while 281 opposed it. A majority vote was necessary for the resolution to pass. The vote, held Feb. 13 to 26, was the second time faculty voted on the resolution. The first was from Dec. 3 to 16, 2024, but rather than release the results, the UC Davis Committee on Elections, Rules, and Jurisdiction sent an email to faculty on Monday, Jan. 27, stating a repeat ballot was on the way so Drake as “an ex-officio member of the Davis Division of the Academic Senate” could vote on an Academic Senate resolution of no-confidence in his leadership.
