<p>"Mr. Hogan has come under fire for a series of decisions, including a push to give his office a more significant role in enrollment management, including campus-level admissions. Mr. Hogan’s faculty critics say these efforts infringe on campus-level autonomy.</p>
<p>More troubling than his proposals, Mr. Hogan’s critics charge, are the president’s methods, which include pressuring three campus-level chancellors to support his policies and calling on them to squelch faculty opposition. Those tactics were highlighted in tense e-mail exchanges between Mr. Hogan and the chancellors, including a particularly pointed back-and-forth with Phyllis Wise, who heads the flagship Urbana-Champaign campus.</p>
<p>In a January 5 e-mail to Ms. Wise, Mr. Hogan said he was “not happy” with her “lack of leadership” on his proposal to centralize enrollment-management functions.</p>
<p>In a separate e-mail to Mr. Kennedy, Mr. Hogan said he “reminded” Ms. Wise that “my goals are her goals.”</p>
<p>The statement has reinforced faculty perceptions of Mr. Hogan as a top-down manager. Indeed, the president has earned the moniker on campus as “Hogan the Shogun,” said Edward A. Kolodziej, whose letter criticizing the president was signed by more than 120 professors with named or endowed chairs.</p>
<p>“‘My goals are your goals. Shut up and deal’ is what that means,” said Mr. Kolodziej, director of Urbana-Champaign’s Center for Global Studies."</p>
