But two PVC positions will go

There are two new DVC roles, Education-Equity and Colleges. The former will report to the vice chancellor and the latter to the provost. And two existing roles exit, PVC E (now Kylie Readman) and PVC Colleges (now Grant O’Neill).

The colleges portfolio as is was only created in October when two PVC units Arts, Business, Law and Social Sciences (Andrew Webster) and Science, Health, Engineering and Education (Grant O’Neill) were combined (CMM October 28 2020).

The DVC roles will be recruited internally “in the first instance.”

VC Eeva Leinonen says, “a key factor in establishing the new roles has been a desire to broaden the diversity of roles and skills in our senior leadership.”

Professor Leinonen announced in March she moving to University of Ireland, Maynooth (CMM March 9), starting there in October.
