I'll have a go.
The day after the programs were cut, my son sent me a message saying that he could no longer study at Laurentian University because he had a BA in history and an intermediate senior teaching certificate, both programs that were cut.
First of all, you can't attract young people to the university if it doesn't offer the programs they want. Secondly, when only partial programs are available and the students have to take courses in English to complete them, it's not attractive for them and they look elsewhere. Program availability is essential.
