Toronto University Professor David Foot says universities in Atlantic Canada should stick with international recruitment and shelve expansion plans as enrollment numbers dwindle. UNBSJ Acting Registrar John Johnson tells CHSJ News expansion plans and international recruitment work together in maintaining a quality experience in learning and teaching.
He says Universities have to put their resources into making the experience great for a student from China or from Saint John but, no institution can grow forever. Johnson says cost is one factor that affects enrollment in university, the others being the availability and types of programs as well as how well the local economy is performing.
