Le corps professoral s’est mobilisé lorsque l’UL a déclaré son insolvabilité, car nous savons ce que cette université représente pour notre communauté

A secure retirement is not a luxury, it’s a right.
Faculty stepped up when Laurentian entered insolvency, because we know what this university means to our community.
We never wanted to be here, but we were left with no other choice.
