Speakers at a March 3 town hall meeting on Laurentian University’s restructuring amid its insolvency expressed their dismay at the situation, and called upon the province to step up and provide secure funding for the school.
The event was organized by Sudbury NDP MPP Jamie West, the community group Save our Sudbury (which has been speaking out about the issues surrounding Laurentian’s restructuring) and the Ontario Confederation of University Faculty Associations (OCUFA).
