The president of Conestoga College says the school will need to lay some staff off in the coming months in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
With the spring semester set to arrive following the Victoria Day long weekend, president John Tibbits has issued a letter about the institution’s future to staff and students.
In the letter, he says that the school expects to see a decline in enrollment domestically and internationally in the fall which will lead to a revenue shortfall. “International enrolment growth has supported major college investments in technology, research, new academic programming and student services,” he noted.
