NL opposition calls for Memorial chair to be removed

The Government of Newfoundland and Labrador’s official opposition has called for the removal of Memorial University Board of Regents Chair Glenn Barnes. Official Opposition Education Critic Paul Dinn said that Barnes showed a “severe” lack of professionalism and judgement and violated an alumna’s privacy by forwarding an email to the alumna’s father. “Members of the board are expected to act with integrity, respect, and in a manner of trust and confidentiality,” said Dinn. Bay FM reports that Dinn is urging NL Minister of Education Krista Lynn Howell to address the situation.
