Nova Scotia Community College is expected to reduce its workforce by 3% following a $9.4M cut in operating funding by the Government of Nova Scotia. Atlantic Academic Union President Neil Cody said that a 3% reduction could result in about 60 job losses, which would create challenges with workload for remaining staff. “Any time that you’re reducing the capacity while your demand remains high, it’s going to create some serious workload pressures and that’s going to have some big impact on the quality of the programming,” he said. NS is also planning to involve itself in the college’s presidential selection process, tabling a bill to move final approval from the college’s board of governors to the provincial cabinet.
