| Summary: | This image is a photograph used in the book Auburn, a Pictorial History of the Loveliest Village by Mickey Logue and Jack Simms, 3rd edition, 2013, depicting the history of the city and the university. From page 283: Dr. H. Hanly Funderburk became Auburn's twelfth president in April 1980 and immediately faced what the Glomerata termed an endless list of negatives: "proration, athletic probation, faculty discontent, aging campus buildings, accreditation problems, poor parking facilities, campus crime." He lost in two votes of confidence by the faculty, the second in November 1982 by an overwhelming tally of 752-253. Funderburk is shown answering questions by the news media after the January 7, 1983 meeting in which the trustees voted to keep him as president but to hire another person to handle the day-to-day affairs of the University. But this plan was discarded, and Funderburk resigned in February 1983. Photo source: Auburn University Archives.
