YorkU reportedly acknowledges potential risks to Francophone community with Glendon move

News

York University has reportedly acknowledged that moving Glendon College to the university’s Keele campus could result in the dilution of its Francophone community, according to a copy of a proposal obtained by Radio Canada. The proposal names the marginalization of Francophone students as a legitimate concern that will require intentional efforts to address. However, it also reiterates that Glendon College’s enrolment trends make the status quo financially unsustainable, and that a move to Keele would allow for increased bilingual programming and lower operating costs. The proposal will be discussed by the Glendon Faculty Council later this month.
