‘There’s so much trust that’s been broken over 18 months,’ said LUSU president Tom Fenske
The announcement last week that two senior leaders at Laurentian University will be retiring before the university exits insolvency proceedings is a “necessary step,” said the president of Laurentian’s staff union.
The university has now filed a proposed plan of arrangement. A plan of arrangement is a plan put forward by an insolvent organization to pay out its creditors, and it must be approved by these creditors. Tom Fenske, president of the Laurentian University Staff Union , said Haché and Berger’s departure from LU is necessary because “there’s absolutely no trust with these individuals.”
Haché denied these findings, leading several members of Laurentian’s senate to say they no longer trusted Laurentian’s leadership. When asked the same question, the vice-president of Laurentian’s faculty union said the union had made several demands as part of the plan of arrangement, but not all came to fruition, “and this was one.”
LUFA, along with OCUFA and the Canadian Association of University Teachers, issued a press release July 22 saying they applauded the senior leaders’ departure, but the plan of arrangement must be accompanied by faculty and governance renewal.
