A former University of Manitoba law school dean is accused of misappropriating close to half a million dollars from a university endowment fund and racking up dozens of charges at a Winnipeg board game café on the school’s dime.
Jonathan Black-Branch left his position as dean of the U of M’s faculty of law suddenly in July 2020, after going on leave in May. At the time, no explanation was given for his departure.
However, in August 2020, a group of six law professors penned a letter to the Law Society of Manitoba, outlining their concerns about his tenure and the secrecy around his departure.
That month, the University of Southampton in the U.K. announced that Black-Branch had been hired as the head of its law school, but said a week after that “due to a change of circumstances,” he would not be taking up the role.
He’s now facing an accusation of breach of integrity from the Law Society of Manitoba.
