Apparently six people were interviewed for the position...

Dr. Woodsworth has lead the University to a multi million dollar lawsuit against LU. In which she is being sued personally as a public official. There are 7-9 grievances filed with regards to the lockout of a research team and their Professor. The behavior from the admin resulted in the union receiving 50 000$ from the academic freedom fund from CAUT. CAUT stated they had never seen this type of behavior in 30 years. If Concordia is looking for someone who will destroy the creative environment or they are looking to target a specific individual then she is the right person. She will help make the place look very pretty and bring in some money but with regards to academia and morale she demonstrated no leadership whatsoever. I hope she does more for Concordia than she did for LU. Good luck Concordia!! I am a student at Laurentian University.
