Talk:Antonio D. Tillis

Bias in Page Content

The information on this page has been continually removed and revised in ways intended to reflect negatively on Chancellor Tillis. I suggest more neutral biographical information that could be adapted from the content of this page:

What bias are you referring to? There was in fact a vote of no confidence, it was covered in third party sources and it's relevant to his career. Plus, information from the individual's own employer is not likely to be neutral anyway. ... discospinster _talk 19:18, 11 December 2024 (UTC)

The content placement on the page is defamatory and an inaccurate portrayal of the leader of Rutgers University-Camden. Of specific and particular concern is that while a vote of no confidence did occur, it was a vote from a small portion of the Arts & Sciences faculty. As a result of the content on this page and the placement of that content as a featured element, the Arts & Sciences faculty as a whole are being unjustly portrayed, thus creating an implicit bias against them. In addition, the content is being weaponized as a means of an ongoing effort to

defame the head of the university. Djpetzold (talk) 21:00, 17 December 2024 (UTC)

• What I think should be changed:

Remove “A few months later, faculty in the School of Arts and Sciences voted no confidence in him, criticizing Tillis for having "grievously injured the College of Arts and Sciences at Rutgers-Camden" and having "seriously eroded the trust of its faculty in his leadership."[2]” Rutgers–Camden presidency Below paragraph 1, add:

Accomplishments in the first year of Tillis’s presidency included the establishment of his “15-in-5” initiatives—a slate of 15 grants, awards and events to be instituted as part of a five-year strategic rollout. These included the Chancellor’s Mayoral Internship Program, the Chancellor’s Grant for Staff Development, and the inaugural edition of the Chancellor’s Lecture Series on Global Racial Reckoning and Civility, which has featured authors and scholars like Sheryll Cashin and Ibram X. Kendi.

Also in Tillis’ first year, Rutgers–Camden achieved eligibility as a Minority Serving Institution. The Department of Education designation—given to institutions in which at least 50 percent of undergraduates are minority students.

Remove “Controversy and No-Confidence Vote” subsection

Remove “Enrollment” subsection

• Why it should be changed:

The content placement on the page is defamatory and an inaccurate portrayal of the leader of Rutgers University-Camden. Of specific and particular concern is that while a vote of no confidence did occur, it was a vote from a small portion of the Arts & Sciences faculty. As a result of the content on this page and the placement of that content as a featured element, our Arts & Sciences faculty as a whole are being unjustly portrayed, thus creating an implicit bias against them. In addition, the content is being weaponized as a means of an ongoing effort to defame the head of the university.

 Not Done. The sections referred to appear to be properly sourced and I cannot see that wholesale removal would be appropriate. If you wish to suggest changes to the text, rather than wholesale removal, then please do so. However, prior to doing so, please disclose your conflict of interest as required by WP:COIPAYDISCLOSE.
