TRU investigating complaints against two senior staff members is taking longer than expected.

The ongoing investigation by Thompson Rivers University's board of governors into alleged wrongdoing on the part of two senior administrators is going to take longer than anticipated, according to the university.

Matt Milovick, TRU's vice-president of finance and administration, and Larry Phillips, the university’s former associate vice-president of people and culture, are under investigation for serious allegations including harassment and misogyny following numerous complaints.

The investigation was initially expected to finish by March 31, according to the university.

TRU said the investigation will continue past the estimated end date because additional witnesses still need to be interviewed.

The university said it now expects to receive the investigation report within three to four months.
