Laurentian University announced Monday it had cut over 60 academic programs, in turn laying off dozens of professors, as the publicly funded institution struggles with insolvency.

Nearly 60 undergraduate programs will be closed, 34 of which are in English and 24 are in French, as well as 11 graduate programs too.

Eric Sorensen has more on what the closure means for students, staff, businesses and the Northern Ontario community.
