There will be some major changes to York’s administration come June 2012.
Rob Tiffin, vp students, will be stepping down from his position to take “an early retirement,” he said in an email dated January 24.
“A lot of people are sad,” says Rheza Evangelista, executive assistant to Tiffin.
Tiffin has been at York for about ten years, and was appointed to his current position in 2005. He began his post at York in the position as assistant vp enrolment management, coming to the job with about 30 years of experience on post-secondary education administration. He has served in a number of senior positions at the University of Western Ontario and at Brock University in addition to York.
Tiffin had been reappointed to vp students in July 2010, and was expected to sit in the position for five years.
“I leave knowing that we have a team that will play a pivotal role in supporting our students and the achievement of new goals,” wrote Tiffin.
According to Tiffin, the search for his successor will be undertaken shortly.
