The board says it has appointed an interim president, and it will launch a search for a new president ‘in due course’
The president of Memorial University was removed from her role Thursday after she faced weeks of scrutiny about her claims of Indigenous heritage.
“We extend our best wishes in all her future endeavours,” the statement said, after thanking Timmons for her work. She announced on March 13 that she would be taking a six-week paid leave while the board of regents considered its next steps. The board said Thursday that it has appointed an interim president and will launch a search for a new president “in due course.”
In a public statement on March 7, the day before CBC News published its story, she said she never claimed to be Indigenous, just to have Indigenous heritage. “It is a distinction I have been careful to make, because it is an important distinction,” she wrote.
