Faculty at Memorial University are concerned about a decision to suspend searches for vice-president at two campuses.

Despite being well into the process, MUN has aborted the search for a vice-president at Grenfell and a VP at the Marine Institute.

Both searches had reached candidate review stage according to faculty, and MUNFA is calling on the university to resume both searches without delay.

Memorial suspended the process until after the arrival of the new president, Dr. Janet Morrison, in August. That’s so that she can have a hand in things.

MUNFA finds that peculiar as the administration moved forward with major budgetary decisions in the absence of a president.

It says prolonged leadership gaps will only deepen uncertainty across both campuses.
