Queen’s principal says ‘no risk’ university will close, but fears remain
After months of anxiety about the future of Queen’s University, a statement from principal Patrick Deane on Friday reassured worried staff and students that the institution is not facing imminent financial collapse.
“Let me be very clear that there is no risk that Queen’s in any foreseeable future will close its doors,” Deane said in the statement.
The principal acknowledged the unusual nature of his statement, but wrote it was necessary to “set the record straight.”
