Laurentian Senate to vote on non-confidence motion

Laurentian University’s Senate has announced that it will hold a vote in April on a motion of non-confidence in Laurentian President Lynn Wells and the university’s board of governors. The Sudbury Star reports that members of the Laurentian University Faculty Association had voted in favour of a non-confidence motion earlier in the year, but that the motion presented at the Senate was independent of the faculty association. Wells said that she plans to hold listening sessions to engage with the university’s community, explaining that “this process responds to some challenging times we have faced recently.”
