This was an extremely difficult decision for Laurentian. Entering the process, and everything that has happened since we entered the process, was extremely difficult. We do absolutely recognize the impacts on communities and on individuals. None of this was done lightly.
Very simply, as I referenced in my opening remarks, Laurentian did not have a choice. It was either follow this process or close the doors three months ago on January 1. We chose the path that provided the university with a chance, but we had to do some very difficult things to try to bring the university financially in order. It had gotten to a point where we were insolvent and would otherwise have had to close our doors. We went through an exercise that looked at all of our programs on the English side and on the French side to identify those areas and those programs that would help support a financially viable university going forward and those programs that were just unaffordable and could not be maintained going forward. It's truly unfortunate, but the midwifery programs were clearly programs that cost us more to deliver than we received in revenue.
