Faculty union calls for removal of Walker in press release

The Edinboro University Association of Pennsylvania State College and University Faculties (APSCUF) released a press statement this afternoon, "calling for the removal of President H. Fred Walker from office."

In the press release obtained by The Spectator, Edinboro APSCUF President Marc Sylvester is quoted as saying: "The faculty are sending a strong message to the Council of Trustees. We are calling for a new leader who will work with us to put Edinboro in the best position possible to fulfill its important mission of educating students, engaging in scholarship, and serving the needs of the Commonwealth."

Angela Burrows, assistant vice president for marketing and communications for the university, said in an email to The Spectator on Saturday afternoon, before APSCUF's press release: "There is no new information to report. There is a lot of chatter out there that is inaccurate."
