Rep. Roger Williams, a TCU trustee, faces faculty vote over objection to Biden's win
FORT WORTH -- The TCU Faculty Senate will consider a resolution calling for the removal of Rep. Roger Williams from the universitys Board of Trustees after he voted against the certification of President Joe Bidens Electoral College votes.
Williams objected to certifying the electoral votes of Arizona and Pennsylvania, and that undermines TCUs mission to educate individuals to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens in the global community, according to the Faculty Senate resolution.
The Senate will discuss and vote on the resolution on Feb. 4. If passed, the Senate will call for the Board of Trustees to remove Williams for conduct which causes notorious or public scandal or would tend to bring public disrespect, contempt or ridicule to the University.
Only the board has the power to remove one of its members.
Williams, a Republican, told the Star-Telegram he has no plans to step down. He said he was surprised to see members of the TCU community call for his removal from the TCU board, on which he has served since 2002. His congressional district stretches from southern Tarrant County to Austin.

I'm surprised that someone can remain on the Board of Trustees, even at a private university, for nearly two decades. It's time for TCU to change the guard.
