A University of Victoria sociology professor found with a marijuana-growing
operation in her Saanich home three years ago has lost an appeal to keep her
job.
The dismissal of Jean Veevers, who had been on the university staff since
1980, is effective immediately. She had been suspended with pay since
December 1998, when university president Dr. David Strong recommended she be
dismissed.
Veevers, 56, could not be reached for comment Friday.
