World Bank staff panel scolds Wolfowitz
(snip)
The committee said in its closing communique the Wolfowitz issue was "of great concern to us all" and called on the bank board looking into the matter to complete its work.

"We have to ensure that the bank can effectively carry out its mandate and maintain its credibility and reputation as well as the motivation of its staff," the committee said.


(snip)
After the news conference, Alison Cave, head of the World Bank Staff Association, which represents 7,000 of the bank's Washington employees, said the group believes Wolfowitz should resign.

"We do not see how he can possibly regain the trust of the staff," she said.

Eric Guitierrez, a policy coordinator for ActionAid, an advocacy group, also said, "It's time for the board to show Wolfowitz the door."

2. This is the equivalent of a "no confidence vote" by university faculty.
Under the doctrine of "shared governance, the administrator (president, provost, or dean) usually feels compelled to resign in that situation. But with the Bush crowd, convention means nothing.
