“This government will not waver in its support of AU as a key economic and social driver in the northern region, Alberta’s taxpayers deserve to see their millions of dollars in funding for this institution benefit the local community and Albertans alike,” Nicolaides said.
“The disruption and cost associated with relocating 500 team members and their families is significant,” Scott said. “And it would have a huge impact on our learners’ experience, and of course our team members’ lives. It will add absolutely nothing to the university.”
