New CBU President To Be Announced, Today

The next president of Cape Breton University will be announced today.

The Board of Governors says it will make the announcement at around noon after an in-camera session.

The Board says it got 20 applications for the position in November and later interviewed a short list of candidates.

The Board had set the end of this month as a deadline to choose a new president.

The job became open after former CBU President David Wheeler was fired in December of 2016 over his handling of labour negotiations with the faculty.
