During a Quebec-wide post-secondary school boycott Monday, The Gazette reported on Concordia University’s review of money paid to senior employees who recently left their jobs.
An email to the university obtained by The Gazette revealed that five administrators who left around September 2009 to December 2010 were paid $2.4 million in severance.
Former president Judith Woodsworth was also paid $703,500 in severance while her predecessor Claude Lajeunesse received $1 million.
Concordia is planning to bring in an outside team to reassess the termination process of senior officials.
