‘Canada as a brand has suffered’: Post-secondary schools react to AG report on international students
A little more than an hour outside of Ottawa, the small town of Perth, Ont. is dotted on roadways and in windows with signs that say “Save our College.”
The town is hoping there will be a resolution after Algonquin College announced the closure of its Perth campus last year, among other cuts, citing a multi-million dollar deficit and the federal cap on international students as factors. This month, the school approved cuts to 30 more programs.
“Of course, it’s an economic advantage to the community, because you have students here buying groceries, renting rooms and so on. But it’s that the type of college with the heritage masonry and the heritage carpentry has been here for so long. It’s so well known, it fits in well with the heritage of Perth,” Mayor Judy Brown told CTV News.
How come the grifters who gamed the system are still employed?
