Sent on behalf of the WLUFA Communications Committee
Dear WLUFA Members,
In light of the President’s open letter, we are revising a WLUFA Advocate supplement on the financial condition of Laurier, and hope to send you a response later today.
In the meantime, see below for links to news articles and documents relating to the discussion to date. If you are aware of additional resources that we can link to, please send them to us at [email protected] for inclusion on the WLUFA Resources page, Laurier Layoffs.
Regards,
Sue Ferguson
