Fanshawe College informed staff that it will begin trimming its workforce by 35 per cent, or approximately 400 full-time jobs, in June.
The substantial reduction comes as the London-based college navigates financial challenges driven largely by a sharp decline in international enrolment.
“Folks are fearful, they’re anxious [and] they’re devastated,” Adam Rayfield, president of Ontario Public Service Employees Union (OPSEU) Local 109, told CBC News London.
“At the end of the day, there’s going to be a chunk of people who are no longer here, and personally, that’s devastating.”
Peter Devlin, president of Fanshawe College, said “all employee areas will be affected” by the restructuring.
