Aoife Mac Namara, the president of Nova Scotia College of Art and Design, has been removed from her position after one year. The decision was effective June 26, according to a memo sent to the NSCAD community by the university's board of governors. However, we are respectful that this is a personnel matter and our priority was communication with Dr. Mac Namara," the memo said. Faculty union responds"The important thing from our perspective, first of all, is we thought she was doing a good job," said Mathew Reichertz, the head of the university's faculty union. Reichertz said Mac Namara was in the middle of working on a strategy to address systemic racism at NSCAD.
