Robert Haché, President of Laurentian University, says in a CCAA update that the cutting of almost 70 undergraduate and graduate programs and the firing of over 100 faculty and staff members were “major milestones in the first phase of Laurentian’s CCAA process.”
“To accomplish these milestones, many stakeholders including academic senate representatives and our labour partners, worked through some incredibly challenging issues to present a path forward for the University,” Haché said.
Haché said that moving forward, the university will continue to focus on its strengths.
The university will continue to offer 38 undergraduate French-language programs and 5 graduate French-language programs.
