No new students will be admitted to these programs. For a small number of students, Laurentian will assist them in transitioning to a related program or another institution, said the press release. "I write to you today with important news on the future of academic programming at Laurentian University," said an internal email from Laurentian president Robert Haché. "Last week the Laurentian Academic Senate voted in support of a plan to close a number of programs which have had low or no enrolment over a number of years. The full list of those programs is included below. "We want you to know that we have also undertaken a review with respect to all continuing programs, where you may see some changes to reflect a consolidation of sections or merger of similar courses within existing programs. "These program changes, combined with the recently-announced termination of our agreements with the federated universities, will focus Laurentian's academic offerings on those programs which are of higher demand.
