SLC, UAlberta grapple with financial challenges

St Lawrence College and the University of Alberta are implementing changes to address financial challenges. SLC has reportedly cut at least 30 positions due to a decline in international student enrolment. SLC President Glenn Vollebregt said the college has had to adjust its organizational structure and processes due to federal changes. The University of Alberta has announced that it will end its varsity swim program after the 2024-25 season. UAlberta Deputy Provost of Students and Enrolment Melissa Padfield added that the swim team is no longer viable “due to the ongoing financial challenges and complications of not having a competitive swim facility on campus.”
