UMass Amherst faculty and librarians voted no confidence in Chancellor Javier Reyes on Monday. They said he "created an unsafe environment by summoning a militarized police force" to campus on May 7. More than 130 pro-Palestinian protesters were arrested. The Student Government Association passed a similar vote one day after the arrests.
