CBC reports that Sheridan College is suspending 40 programs and placing 27 under efficiency reviews. Sheridan will also conduct a comprehensive organizational review and make role reductions to maintain a financially sustainable community. Sheridan’s website cited the “rapidly evolving and complex external environment” as the reason behind these changes, identifying factors “such as dramatic shifts in government policy, economic pressures, social and technological disruptions,” and an estimated 30% decrease in students attending the college in the coming years. “This contraction is about achieving sustainable scale, not compromising quality,” said Sheridan President Janet Morrison. “We will continue to galvanize our students to shape an ever-changing world.”
