William Henry Cade (July 5, 1946 – December 29, 2025) was an American-Canadian biologist who served as the president and vice-chancellor of the University of Lethbridge from 2000 to 2010. Before serving as president and vice-chancellor, he was dean of science at Brock University and vice president, there. His research articles dealt mainly with entomology and animal behavior, particularly with field crickets. == Education == Cade completed his BA (1968), MA (1972) and PhD (1976) in zoology at the University of Texas at Austin. While an undergraduate at Texas, Cade became a member of the Tau chapter of Kappa Sigma fraternity. == Family == Cade's wife, Elsa Salazar Cade (born 1952, San Antonio, Texas), is a Mexican-American science teacher and entomologist. She was selected as one of the top ten science teachers in 1995 by the National Science Teachers Association for her efforts in expanding educational opportunities for underprivileged students, particularly those with disabilities from lower income communities. The Cades have also donated nearly $130,000 to Lethbridge University through their Bill and Elsa Salazar Cade scholarship in Evolutionary Biology. Amongst her many endeavors in advocacy for disabled students within science education, Salazar contributed to a collaborative effort amongst educators to develop and design science projects that promote the inclusivity of high school students with learning disabilities. Beyond her contributions to science education, Salazar Cade and her husband were recognized for their philanthropic work.
