The Tyee reports that Langara College is considering a major restructuring in response to decreases in international enrolment. Outlined in a presentation received by The Tyee, the suggested reorganization would see Langara’s nearly 40 academic departments operate under five centres of excellence. A separate school of foundational studies would offer associate’s degrees in science, arts, and interdisciplinary studies. The college also proposed addressing the loss of tuition funds by developing partnerships with industry, governments, and philanthropic organizations. Langara Faculty Association President Pauline Greaves expressed concern with the restructuring’s potential impact on faculty and work hours.
