The University of Calgary's former president is heading back to work at an Ontario post-secondary research and policy agency.

Harvey Weingarten, with a wallet stuffed with his $4.75 million pension has been named the president of the higher education quality council of Ontario.

Although he was at the head of the U of C through major expansion projects, his departure was marred by controversy over his pension.

Weingarten is expected to begin his new job in July according to the Calgary Herald.

His successor at the U of C is to be announced within the next month.
