Unsatisfied with faculty encouragement to “hope for the best and hope some other students drop out” — unlikely, she says, since it’s a mandatory class — she’s now questioning the quality of the schooling she’s getting.

New International Student Orientation
Approximately 111,000 students are starting their first year of university this fall — higher than the double-cohort year of 2003, when the province eliminated Gr. 13, according to Rob Kristofferson, a professor at Wilfrid Laurier University and president of the Ontario Confederation of University and Faculty Associations. It’s particularly concerning for Ontario, which is home to more than 40 per cent of the country’s university student population, as well as more than 40 per cent of all college students — and where domestic student enrolment is rising. “Some are having to pull back on the range of programs they can offer,” he said, while others may be trimming elsewhere, “like mental health supports that students need.”

Because foreign student tuition is several times greater, “even though we have more domestic students, we’re decreasing our revenues,” he said. “The capacity of our universities to create spaces for Canadian-born students is starting to contract,” he said. “As the school year goes on, I’m concerned that students aren’t going to find the supports that they need.” Faculty and staff are encouraged to register for all three in-person workshops. Each workshop is offered twice, and participants only need to attend one session.
