[Fdu] Act Now: Demand a stop to insolvency proceedings & secure funding for Laurentian University

[Cynthia Wright]

Dear colleagues,

As you’re aware, Laurentian University is filing for court protection 
under the /Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act (CCAA)/ due to financial 
challenges it is facing as a result of poorly considered and reckless 
administrative decisions and the erosion of public university funding.

_Laurentian University is a public institution, not a private sector 
corporation. _

The federal and provincial levels of government have a responsibility to 
step up and provide Laurentian with the funding it needs, not just to 
survive for a few more months, but to secure the public institution’s 
long-term future.

*You can help Laurentian professors, librarians, staff, workers, and 
students: **click here <https://lufappul.ca/wp/?page_id=4989>*to send a 
letter /demanding the provincial and federal governments intervene to 
stop the CCAA insolvency proceedings and provide long-term, stable 
funding to Laurentian University. /

Please share this widely with your networks.

In solidarity,

/Jenny /
