The makeup of the committee will be established in the near future.<\/p>\n<p>The Board also committed to an independent third-party review of Brock\u2019s presidential search process, to ensure the University has the best process in place for the next presidential search.<\/p>\n<p>Hutchings, who is Brock\u2019s Vice-President Administration, has served as Acting President and Vice-Chancellor since July 1. Last month he agreed to have that appointment extended beyond Aug. 31 after the University announced that Wendy Cukier would not become Brock\u2019s next president as had been earlier planned. Before joining Brock in 2012, Hutchings was the Niagara Region\u2019s Commissioner of Corporate Services and Treasurer. He is a professional accountant and holds Master\u2019s in law and Bachelor of Commerce degrees.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Brock University\u2019s Board of Trustees has extended to Sept. 30 the appointment of Brian Hutchings as Acting President and Vice-Chancellor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":34884,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[3319,4052,1,4],"tags":[460,1795,2039],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40865"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=40865"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/40865\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34884"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=40865"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=40865"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/brocku.ca\/brock-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=40865"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
