An examination of new material provided in the review of Kwantlen Polytechnical University’s board of directors has been completed.

The review found that members of KPU’s Board of Governors, some of KPU’s administrative staff and the search consultant were aware of an offer letter and pre-employment contract for former Kwantlen vice-president and provost, Anne Lavack.

Mr. Mingay, the assistant deputy minister directed to conduct the review, completed the original review of allegations related to contracts for executive staff in June. Finance Minister Michael de Jong asked him to review the new information tabled in the legislature to determine whether it changed the findings of fact, conclusions or recommendations in his original report.

Mr. Mingay found the new information serves to revise the statements of fact contained in the report and the conclusions that can be drawn from them, based on the new information tabled in the legislature. The change to the conclusion only serves to reinforce the importance of the recommendations in the original report, the letter says.
