Organizations denounce a provincial decision not to fund the Université de Sudbury’s proposal to create a standalone Francophone university in Sudbury
In the wake of the province's decision not to fund the Université de Sudbury’s proposal to create a standalone Francophone university in Sudbury, several organizations, including the university itself, have released statements denouncing the move.
Although it denied the Université de Sudbury proposal, the ministry said it will “continue to work with all of our Francophone education institutes to help deliver high quality post-secondary education for northern and francophone communities.” After the announcement, the university stated in a release that it will consider its next steps as it “stands in solidarity with its community,” and seeks to “create more post-secondary education options for Franco-Ontarians.”
In reaction to the announcement, in which they state the ministry’s response is “vague and imprecise,” the Assemblée de la Francophonie de l'Ontario stated they are “astounded” by the ministries decision, and they intend to “explore all necessary means to overturn it.” The AFO is a Francophone lobbying group, with the stated goal to ““bring together the province's francophone community, and to act as a spokesperson, among other things, to assert the rights of Franco-Ontarians.
The AFO states the government’s actions “show a profound lack of respect for the entire Franco-Ontarian community.” Representing institutions, individuals, and organizations active in a variety of sectors in Greater Sudbury and Northern Ontario, the Coalition stems from the PlanifSudbury Francophone roundtable.
