LAURENTIAN UNIVERSITY: Surprising everyone including the deans, Laurentian University declared itself insolvent on Feb 1 2021. Since then the communications from the administration have been scant, the community has scrambled to organize, and some 132 lawyers have been involved in proceedings in federal court. This crash course in Insolvency Studies digs through everything we know and don't know about this situation. IS100: We talk to Alex Usher of Higher Education Strategy Associates about the financial crisis and how it came to be. IS200: Professor Reuben Roth and student Darius Garneau, who are helping to organize Save Our Sudbury, tell us about the ongoing community response. IS300: Guest host Josh interviews the team and brings us your questions, which we answer for extra credit.
