WIT board decide not to reappoint president
A meeting of the WIT governing body yesterday was scheduled to ratify a second term for Mr Byrne, who has been head of the college for the last 10 years. He had been recommended for reappointment from an earlier search and selection process and his existing contract expires today.
However, after several hours discussing the issue since early afternoon, the board’s chairman Dr Donie Ormonde said last night that it had been decided not to adopt the recommendation of the selection board.
