Wilfrid Laurier University has reportedly closed its Centre for Indigegogy permanently. In a statement posted to Instagram, the Indigenous Field of Study (IFS) program explained that it “no longer has the human resources and capacity” to sustain the centre and “needs to re-prioritize its energies and resources into IFS teaching and core programming.” WLU Centre Director Kathy Absolon told CBC that many members of the community have shared their shock and disappointment at the news, as the centre has had a broad impact on the way they live, work, and teach. “It was a very difficult decision for us to make, but we had to make that decision … in the reality of fiscal cutbacks and faculty cutbacks,” said Absolon.
