Sault College President David Orazietti recently spoke to CBC about how the college is experiencing increasing difficulty maintaining its core programming in the face of decreasing international enrolment and the provincial tuition freeze. Orazietti said that about 20 of the college’s programs—including some tailored for international students—are being phased out. While the college plans to focus on its high-demand programs, Orazietti said that financial pressures make it increasingly difficult to keep these programs running. “We’re taking our time to [make decisions] thoughtfully, and to ensure that we protect as many jobs as possible in the organization and have as minimal impact to our programs that the community relies on,” said Orazietti.
