The faculty of a Catholic Maryland university voted overwhelmingly to unseat their embattled president, who crassly compared to struggling freshman to bunnies that need to be shot while announcing a controversial plan to offer tuition refunds to failing students who choose to leave on in the semester.
Mount St. Mary's University faculty voted 87-3 Friday night to ask Simon Newman to resign. The condemning vote came even after the president announced earlier in the day that he was reinstating the staffers he ousted.
“It has become apparent that negative public attention has interfered with our ability to continue in our work and to bring new students and faculty to this campus,” the faculty wrote in a letter to Newman.

While discussing the faculty’s likely reaction to such a move, Murry told Newman, “Even if I had the power of mind-control over the faculty, I couldn’t convince them this would be a good idea.”
According to Murry, during the course of the conversation, Newman said, “This is hard for you because you think of the students as cuddly bunnies, but you can’t. You just have to drown the bunnies…put a Glock to their heads.”
