YEAR IN REVIEW 2011: Judith Woodsworth "resigns"

Twenty-eleven began with Concordia finding itself leaderless. Again.

President Judith Woodsworth was pressured to resign less than two years into her term. But not before agreeing to a huge severance package of nearly a quarter million dollars.

Which is equivalent to less than two years pay.

News came out in January that the Board of Governors had given Woods- worth an ultimatum. Resign and collect, or face an embarrassing public dismissal.

Concordia’s previous President Claude Lajeunesse was also told to leave by the Board before finishing his term in 2007.

Former President Dr. Fred Lowy has taken over on an interim basis until Concordia finds a new President.
