A cost-cutting plan at the University of Saskatchewan survived a non-confidence vote Thursday.
University council voted 42 to 18 against a non-binding motion that accused administrators of not consulting faculty throughout the TransformUS process.
More than 300 professors, staff and others signed the non-confidence petition ahead of the vote.
Several opponents of TransformUS called it a flawed process.
The process is designed to help the university avoid a $44.5-million deficit by determining which programs and services to cut.
The university students’ union executive voted unanimously against the cost-cutting plan last month.
The plan is expected to be implemented around May 1.
