SAIT Cuts 30 Jobs, Impacts Student Services

0:00It's April 17th. You're listening to Calgary News today, AI-powered local news. I'm Corey with the story. Calgary's Southern Alberta Institute of Technology just slashed more than 30 jobs in its student affairs and external relations division. Hitting. Areas like advising, counseling, marketing, and the library, hard. Earlier this month on March 3rd, they cut six educational developers, a communications coordinator and other roles in people and culture, plus some. Leadership spots opened up. The union says the total cuts across eight now, top 65, affecting long-time staff and maintenance, housing, and placement advising, leaving folks, facing real uncertainty and tanking morale. Some programs got paused too, like peer mentorship and student engagement, while the alumni magazine shifts fully digital with fewer events. This stems from fewer international students after federal caps kicked in, a trend hitting other Alberta schools like Bo Valley College too, as they.
