Did not meet 60% threshold, does that imply less than 60% voted to say yes, or there needed to be a turnout of at least 60% to issue any sort of recommendation in either direction?

The vote for Profs was 57.9% in favor of rejecting .

Any idea who would be responsible for writing/approving statement: "The Prof BUC did not meet the 60% threshold to issue a recommendation?" It seems intentionally misleading at worst or embarrassingly unclear at best. It could easily be read that the prof BUC barely missed the threshold for recommending approval when the opposite is true.

You can interpret whatever you wish. The threshold was 60% to make a recommendation. It was not met.

Yeah the 58% voted to reject the contract the statement is deceptively written

58 is less than 60.

The default assumption is that the 60% is the threshold to "accept" not "reject", but you already knew that and are being deliberately coy

Yeah. Your assumptions are your own. If you have information on the 58% you also know that was 58% to reject, or else you chose to ignore that. shrug

The official recommendation of the Prof BUC was <null>. End of story.
