The Western University in London, Ont. has decided to pause its Alice Munro Chair in Creativity program amidst a recent revelation surrounding the acclaimed writer. The university made this decision following reports that Alice Munro protected her husband after discovering he had sexually abused her own daughter. The institution expressed its full support for Andrea Robin Skinner, Munro’s daughter, who bravely came forward about the abuse. The university emphasized the need to carefully reassess Munro’s legacy and her connection to Western University. The Alice Munro Chair in Creativity program was initially established in 2018 to drive creative initiatives within the faculty of arts and humanities.
