Despite the upcoming closure of the Nipissing University campus in Muskoka, student academic programs will not be affected.
This from Nipissing University officials after it was announced that the campus would be closed by June 30th.
Students currently enrolled will have the majority of programs moved to the North Bay campus, with Bachelor of Education students finishing their studies at an alternate location.
Dean of the Muskoka campus Dr. Rick Vanderlee says the decision was necessary due to an unexpected drop in enrolment.
Bracebridge Mayor Graydon Smith recently reported his disappointment with the decision, saying town officials were never contacted regarding this sudden decision.
In terms of jobs, three staff members will keep their positions, four unionized members will be offered jobs in North Bay and one administration position is being listed as redundant.
