Unions representing hundreds of staff at Peterborough’s Fleming College say they were caught off guard by decision to cancel more than 1 in 5 programs.
fta:
“Fleming expects to lose $40 million in tuition as other colleges have reported similar financial challenges. Sault College, based in Sault Ste. Marie, for example, is set to see a drop of 63 per cent in foreign students, affecting $40 million in revenues from its partnership with private college triOS.”
““Sometimes you’re going to have to take out a program or suspend program temporarily because you have to revise it,” said Graveline, whose council represents about 7,000 students at the Sutherland campus, about half of them here on study permits.”
40M$ / 3500 = ~11K / student? seems high. I thought international students pay ~3K (per semester?, sop maybe ~6K / student?
