Based on student demand, the College of New Caledonia has reduced its faculty by laying off three, while seven others accepted early retirements or voluntary severance.
Over the last four years, the college saw a 33 per cent increase in full time faculty positions due to demand when new programs were introduced.
In the December quarterly report, it was reported the college employed 256 full time faculty members.
“While we regret having to issue any layoff notices, we are committed to working with the affected individuals and the Faculty Association to determine what options may be available,” said Chad Thompson, vice president, academic.
CNC has added positions in accounting and finance, business management, tourism and hotel management, human resources management, diagnostic medical sonography, nursing and civil engineering technology while filling new ongoing faculty positions.
