Summary
Brock University has started issuing layoff notices to administrative staff as part of cost-cutting measures, though the full scope and affected departments have not been disclosed. The cuts come amid ongoing financial strain across Ontario’s post-secondary sector, driven by a long-standing tuition freeze, stagnant funding, and declining international enrollment, with universities collectively facing growing deficits projected to reach $1.3 billion by 2028–29.
