CHARLOTTETOWN, P.E.I. — Two years after the departure of Alaa Abd-El-Aziz, Prince Edward Island’s only university is set to hire a new president.UPEI has been holding a series of “fireside” chats with three potential candidates, inviting staff and students to participate.
“My priority is to ensure the person who is chosen is somebody who is impressive and has an impressive record with students,” he said.The meetings were town hall-style, allowing direct feedback and questions from those in attendance, he said. The hiring process requires confidentiality, but the school has managed to be transparent with students at the same time. It’s a balancing game, MacKenzie said.
“I ask that campus community members keep all discussions and comments confidential and not share names of the candidates during or after their visits to the university. Recording the fireside chats is strictly prohibited, and no recordings will be distributed following the sessions.”
