Yesterday it was announced that Carol McAulay, Associate Director of the Simcoe County District School Board, has been appointed Vice-President, Administration, for Laurentian University, effective February 14, 2011.
Since she is the person responsible for buildings and facilities, she has a huge role in the ARC and school closure, building, and re-building process. She is not an official ARC member but many of the ARC queries relate directly to her portfolio.
It's too soon to tell how this staff change (her replacement is not yet named) might affect the process or the staff's attitude towards school closures vs. rebuilding.
