PRINCE GEORGE – The College of New Caledonia has had to make some difficult decisions to balance its budget in light of a $7.1 million deficit.
In a release from the College, it noted:
“To ensure a balanced budget, CNC will strategically align planned expenses with expected revenue, maximizing the provincial operating grant to support college-wide activities and services previously supported by international tuition revenue.”
The deficit comes as the result of losing a number of international students.
And the decision has impacted faculty. Nine areas will be impacted, including nursing in Prince George and Quesnel, dental assisting and civil engineering. Sixteen layoffs have been issued so far and a layoff committee is working on this issue and all layoffs will be complete by the end of July.
