Laurentian’s historical roots lie in the Roman Catholic church.[7] The Collège du Sacré-Coeur was founded by the Society of Jesus in 1913. According to a plaque at the entrance to the R. D. Parker Building, the school began granting degrees in 1957 as the University of Sudbury. A university federation combining representatives from the Roman Catholic, United, and Anglican churches was incorporated as a “non-denominational, bilingual institution of higher learning” in 1960.[7] The new Laurentian University held classes in the University of Sudbury facility, as well as in a variety of locations in the city, including the Sudbury Steelworkers Hall, until its current campus was opened in 1964.[8] The federated colleges included Huntington College (United Church), University of Sudbury College (Roman Catholic, descended from the Collège du Sacré-Coeur), and Thorneloe College (Anglican) which joined in 1963.[9] Former federated schools affiliated with Laurentian include Collège universitaire de Hearst in Hearst, Nipissing University College in North Bay, and Algoma University College in Sault Ste. Marie.
In 2013, Laurentian launched the McEwen School of Architecture.[10]
On February 1, 2021, Laurentian University President Robert Haché confirmed that the University had filed for creditor protection.[11][12] Court filings revealed that the university’s liabilities amounted to CA$321 million. As part of its restructuring, the university ended its relationships with the federated schools effective May 1,[13] although the federated schools have announced an intention to challenge the action in court. On April 12, 2021, Laurentian University announced the closure of 58 undergraduate programs and 11 graduate programs spanning a diversity of subjects.[14][15][16] As part of these closures, 116 faculty positions were terminated.[15][17] In November 2022, the Auditor General of Ontario released a report on the university’s insolvency, finding that overspending on large capital projects starting in 2010 were the primary cause. It also found that the school should have sought provincial help before invoking the Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act, which is designed for private companies, not public institutions.[18]
In March 2022, Ontario’s deputy ombudsman and French language services commissioner, Kelly Burke, released a report on the university’s cuts to French-language programs during its restructuring, finding that it failed to meet its obligations under the French Language Services Act.[19][20] In response, francophone community groups have demanded the transfer of Laurentian University’s remaining French-language academic programming to a stand-alone French-language university.[21][22]
