Posted in Global News, March 24, 2020 — University of Alberta president David Turpin said that despite attempts to work with the government to “reach an agreement,” mass layoffs due to the 2020 provincial budget will go forward, amid the COVID-19 crisis.

In a blog post Monday, Turpin said the cuts will lead to the loss of over 1,000 jobs at the school, through retirements, attrition, layoffs, and position closures.
