Please be advised that an election is occurring for faculty (Okanagan and Vancouver) and staff (Vancouver unionized and all Management & Professional) representatives on the Presidential Search Committee. The Okanagan unionized position has been filled by acclamation.
Today UBC released the summary of a report by the Honourable Lynn Smith, which outlines her findings relating to allegations that, following the publication of a blog post by Professor Jennifer Berdahl on August 8, 2015, the Chair of the Board of Governors or individuals in the Sauder School of Business interfered with her academic freedom or violated relevant UBC policies.
As a result of the call for nominations issued last week, I am pleased to announce that we have received many nominations for faculty and for management and professional staff to serve on the Presidential Search Committee. Nominations for those positions are now closed.
