Memorial University president removed after Indigenous claims scrutiny

The president of Memorial University was removed from her role Thursday after she faced weeks of scrutiny about her claims of Indigenous heritage.

“We extend our best wishes in all her future endeavours,” the statement said, after thanking Timmons for her work. She announced on March 13 that she would be taking a six-week paid leave while the board of regents considered its next steps. The board said Thursday that it has appointed an interim president and will launch a search for a new president “in due course.”

In a public statement on March 7, the day before CBC News published its story, she said she never claimed to be Indigenous, just to have Indigenous heritage. “It is a distinction I have been careful to make, because it is an important distinction,” she wrote.

Memorial University president removed after Indigenous claims scrutinyThe president of Memorial University has been removed from her role. The move comes after questions were recently raised about her claims of Indigenous heritage. These are the same schools that let men be women and girls be boys. But she cant identify as native? I'm confused and I would like to know where they draw the line? The left seem to move it around to where it best suits them, FFS. But surely if she identifies as indigenous she must be indigenous 👍
