Northwestern's faculty senate has formally accused the administration of abolishing democracy at the Medill School of Journalism. Dean John Lavine responds to Michael Miner: "We've had more faculty involvement in the last 18 months than in the decade before that. We have 12 major committees reaching across the entire faculty." One professor acknowledges that, but adds: "We don't vote on anything. We have no vote. Anybody who dissents is labeled 'anti-change.'" The faculty senate predicts "damage to the national reputation of the School."
