Cambrian College’s administration is reportedly recommending that the college suspend the intakes for “several programs,” starting this September. In a statement, the college said that most of the programs in question rely heavily on international student enrolment, are no longer eligible for post-graduate work permits, and/or do not have sufficient domestic enrolment to justify a new intake. OPSEU Local 655 President Neil Shyminsky stated that the faculty union was assured that the college “will make efforts to maintain as many positions as possible.” However, Shyminsky added that the scale of recent announcements across Ontario has left many faculty members concerned. The recommended suspensions put before the Board of Governors at an upcoming meeting.
