Acadia University’s Board of Governors has announced that it is moving forward with its plan to restructure its faculties in time for the 2027–28 academic year. The proposed restructuring, which would create a new Faculty and School structure, is expected to reduce operation costs by $1.34M annually. CBC notes that the changes include several changes to staffing, including the introduction of nine assistant director positions and the elimination of 15 department heads, four coordinators, and one assistant dean position. Acadia University Faculty Association President Geoffrey Whitehall expressed concern about the elimination of departments and positions, alongside the introduction of “administrative roles that are not currently in the collective agreement.”
