The search for a new University of Saskatchewan president is over.
The school is expected to announce a new president Thursday morning. He or she will be the university’s 11th president.
Interim president Gordon Barnhart has been filling the position since Ilene Busch-Vishniac was fired last year. Her contract with the university was terminated following public protests over the firing of a tenured professor and over a campus-wide cost-cutting measure known as TransformUS.
Busch-Vishniac has since filed a statement of claim against the university, its board members, Premier Brad Wall and former provincial minister Rob Norris over the firing.
