TRU to lay off 80 employees as COVID-19 hammers school’s books
KAMLOOPS — Thompson Rivers University says it will lay off about 80 staff members due to the impact of COVID-19. The university says it will begin informing individuals being laid off Wednesday (June 3).
The information comes in an email to staff Tuesday from Executive Director of Human Resources Larry Phillips. The email was obtained by CFJC Today.
Last month, TRU said a projected drop in international enrollment could contribute to a $6 million budgetary deficit.
