With over 150 accredited media personnel in the meeting, a virtual press conference with Ontario’s Minister of Colleges and Universities, Ross Romano, was much anticipated.
Reporters were hoping Romano would answer questions about Laurentian University’s insolvency process and address the cancellation of almost 70 programs, affecting close to 100 faculty members and 900 students.
Instead, Romano, along with John Hepburn, CEO of Mitacs
, made an announcement about a $39.5 million investment to create up to 8,000 paid internships postsecondary students, postdoctoral fellows and recent graduates.
Hepburn said “April showers, bring May flowers” and that Mitacs’ partnership with the government is “not only, creating honey, but growing the flowers initially.”

Laurentian University fired dozens of professors and slashed its program offerings in an unprecedented round of cuts on Monday aimed at tackling the university’s insolvency.
The Sudbury school announced the elimination of 58 undergraduate and 11 graduate programs, which make up about a third of its course offerings.
It also laid off a large number of professors, at least 80, according to faculty members, or somewhere between a quarter and a third of full-time staff, although an official tally was not released by either the faculty union or the university.
