Western University President Amit Chakma has released the report detailing his progress after the fallout over his double payout in 2014.
In April, Chakma pledged to meet with all the different faculties and put more energy towards improving the morale around campus, rather than meeting with donors and having off-site meetings.
The full report has details about the governance of the school, how resources are spent, what is happening with research and the communication within the organization.
Chakma promises a review of the entire budget process. He also notes the Board of Governors has started a task force to deal with governance issues and communication.
The president will start circulating a regular e-newsletter to keep people in the know about what he is doing, who he is meeting with and how the school's resources are being used.
Chakma came under heavy fire in the spring after the 2014 public salary disclosure revealed he banked nearly $1-million that year, more than double his regular salary. This was allowed in Chakma's contract, he took a year's salary instead of a paid year off at the end of his first five year term.
It caused outrage within the Western Community, spurring online petitions, protests and an attempted vote of non-confidence in the president.
PhD Candidate Tyler Turek held a sit in outside Chakma's office and collected donations for the student food bank when the controversy was at its height. He says today's report is lacking in many areas.
"I was sort of hoping of a little bit more in terms of actual action," Turek tells BlackburnNews.com. "I noticed there is a lot of talk of task forces and delegating authority, but very little in terms of concrete proposals, of accepting responsibility and there's not mention, from what I saw, of the money he said he'd give back some three and a half months ago. I don't think this is going to have the impact he expects"
Chakma promised to return the cash and the school pledged to conduct a full review of compensation policies and the contracts of Western's leaders. It is unclear how much that review will cost, or when it will be complete.
The school spent nearly $100,000 with a crisis public relations firm and two local law firms during the fallout.
