Memorial University has refused to provide the employment contract for the newly created position of Associate Vice-President of Harlow and Global Partnerships, stating that the contract is between a third-party individual and a third-party entity. Memorial also stated that Harlow Campus is governed by MUN (UK) Ltd, which has its own separate legal entity and Board of Directors and is governed by UK law. Memorial claims that this individual is not a public body employee and that disclosure would be “an unreasonable invasion of their personal privacy.”
Memorial has long considered Harlow as one of its campuses, and President Neil Bose appointed the individual to the newly created associate vice-president position. Several sources have informed mattbarter.ca that the individual is a co-author of Bose’s.
A complaint has been filed with the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner regarding Memorial’s refusal to provide access to the requested record.
