Ottawa Now - 'Devastated': Professors react to another round of gut-punching cuts at Algonquin College

March 3, 2026

For a second straight year, the Algonquin College Board of Governors has approved a significant series of programming cuts. This time, 30 programs have been halted. Monday’s judgement day comes as the Ottawa-based post-secondary institution continues to grapple with funding shortfalls and a decline in International enrollment. Judy Puritt, the first Vice-President of OPSEU Local 415, represents roughly 900 of Algonquin’s faculty members. She also teaches Business Communications at the college, and joins Kristy Cameron on Ottawa Now.
