P.S The vice president, aka the provost who signed the fire letter, resigned before an urgent board meeting on Monday evening. Next day a student rally was held on campus, and then the former president indicated she would not resign anyway. But on Wednesday she was fired.
The former executive director of college of public health has been rehired as tenure, but he will not act any administration position any more.
这个故事后面其实还有故事。我今天刚知道加拿大有个叫U15的同盟,也就是15所研究性大学的同盟(类似中国的985)。这十五所大学的校长们写信给U of S的校董会力挺它家校长,同时加拿大其它高校1000多个教授,和Saskatchewan的学生也联名写信给校董会,两股势力在斗。最后做官的输了。这个案子会对加拿大高校以后影响会挺大的。大学也许以后不敢随便开除终身教授。
