 An outcry ensued, both at the university itself and in other academic institutions.Five departments voted "no confidence" in Chancellor Wise, several academic organizations condemned the university's actions, and some scholars cancelled lectures scheduled at the university.On its website the American Indian studies program shared its statement of no-confidence, "With this vote of no confidence, the faculty of UIUC's American Indian studies program also joins the thousands of scholars and organizations in the United States and across the world in seeing the chancellor's action as a violation of academic freedom and freedom of speech."
