Tenured professors at Laurentian University expect to know Monday whether they will be laid off as part of an extraordinary restructuring aimed at cutting costs at the insolvent and debt-burdened school.
For many professors, the secretive process, in which negotiations have been held behind closed doors, has been a cruel and uncertain time.
Rachel Haliburton, who has taught philosophy and bioethics at the university for 25 years, said its horrible to see the lives and plans of colleagues suddenly derailed. She fears she and many others will soon be out of a job.
