President Summerlee, whose career as a scholar, professor, researcher, and administrator spans nearly 30 years, joined the University of Guelph faculty in 1988 as a professor in the Department of Biomedical Sciences. He was named an associate dean of the Ontario Veterinary College in 1992, dean of graduate studies in 1995, associate vice-president (academic) in 1999, and provost and vice-president (academic) in 2000.
As president of the University of Guelph, Summerlee earned $434,517.92 per year, which made him the highest-paid person at the university.[1] He was the ninth-highest-paid university president in Canada (as of 2011),[2] and second-highest-paid in Ontario (as of 2012).[3]
Summerlee faced controversy for his inadequate response as president of the University of Guelph to a sexual assault in the athletics department.[4] On September 21, 2006, the father of a female student contacted Summerlee, and provided correspondences between Dave Scott-Thomas (his daughter's running coach) and his daughter, as proof of grooming leading to sexual assault. Summerlee did not reply, despite a note that the victim was underage at the time of the abuse.[5]
