Former UBC President Arvind Gupta Named Distinguished Professor At University Of Toronto

The Canadian Press, 01 Oct, 2015 11:48 AM
    VANCOUVER — The mystery over the future of former University of British Columbia president Arvind Gupta has been solved.
     
    Gupta is returning to his alma mater after being appointed distinguished visiting professor in the University of Toronto's computer science department.
     
    The appointment covers the 2015-2016 academic year.
     
    The chairman of the computer science department at University of Toronto says Gupta will conduct independent research and collaborate with faculty and senior leadership to develop relationships between the university, industry and government.
     
    Gupta was appointed president of UBC in July 2014 and stepped down in August, saying only that he would return to his academic career as a computer science professor at the post-secondary institution.
     
    Martha Piper, who was UBC president from 1997 to 2006, has return to the role on an interim basis while the university finds a permanent replacement.
