Thirty-three near-graduates in Laurentian Universityâs midwifery program are among several Sudbury students whose careers are on hold due to the ongoing restructuring at Laurentian University â a process Charlie Angus, MP for TimminsâJames Bay, unapologetically referred to as âvandalismâ during a Save Laurentian University virtual town hall hosted by the federal NDP on Saturday.
âTheyâre supposed to begin their placements on May 3, but they canât continue, because thereâs no program to give them insurance,â Angus said. âThey need to relocate, but they canât even get loans to relocate, because thereâs no Laurentian that will sign off for them. They need the letters of enrolment, which Laurentian cannot provide.
