October 28, 1 PM on Zoom. Registration information below.
The University of Lethbridge Students’ Union (ULSU), the University of Lethbridge Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) and the University of Lethbridge Faculty Association (ULFA) are inviting all members to attend virtually a Joint Town Hall about a proposed private-public partnership between the UofL and Navitas, an Australian educational services company.
Navitas is a for-profit, multinational corporation that recruits foreign students for universities around the world, focusing particularly on students who require remedial support before they would be eligible for admission to the client university. A plan circulated by Navitas on campus last week proposes building a two year remedial college on the Calgary campus. After two years, students would then transfer to second year in Lethbridge.
Representatives from the ULSU, GSA and ULFA have formed a working group to explore this partnership, its potential problems, opportunities, and alternatives, as the UofL seeks to increase their recruitment of international students. The intent of this town hall is to share our findings to date and hear from our respective memberships as to what this partnership means to you.
