AlgomaU, St Clair plan cuts citing reduced international enrolment

Two institutions in Ontario have announced new cuts due to reduced international enrolment. Algoma University plans to cut 50 to 75 roles following a reduction in international student intake by 60%, according to President Sheila Embleton. While the university paused five programs in May, they have not yet announced which, if any, of these programs will be affected by the new cuts. In Windsor, St Clair College is planning to reduce its presence downtown following a 63% drop in international students, according to an article by the Windsor Star. The college owns and leases several buildings in the area. St Clair also stated that despite the international enrolment decline, several programs had “significant” increases from domestic enrolment.
