L-U

A group of Laurentian University students in Sudbury is banding together to support students at the Barrie campus…some who may not be able to finish their studies there.

Last month the Board of Governors voted to close the Barrie campus by 2019.

Ben Park is a member of the “LU Barrie 2019 Sudbury Mobilization Committee” and says the decision will stop many from getting their degrees.

Laurentian has offered free residence and meal plans for any student willing to re-locate to Sudbury, but Park says that is un-realistic for many.

The committee has planned a Day of Action on April 15th here in Sudbury to protest the decision.
