U of S shuts down Emma Lake Kenderdine campus
Students enrolled at the Emma Lake Kenderdine campus of the University of Saskatchewan will be uprooted.
The university recently announced a temporary suspension of the campus after financial concerns became apparent in the need for repairs to the campus' facilities to bring them up to standard.
“We’ve got a growing gap between our revenues and our expenses and by 2016 we’re looking at a gap of about 44.5 million a year,” said Greg Fowler, acting vice-president of finance and resources at the University of Saskatchewan.
Fowler said that while the budget is small at Kenderdine, the University will save about $500,000 a year from suspending the campus due to high costs to operate the facilities which are in need of dire repair.
