Thompson Rivers University in Kamloops, B.C. is laying off approximately 40 staff members (with union bumping considered) out of 65 initially notified, due to a $7-10 million budget deficit. The layoffs are part of broader cost-cutting measures and follow a federal decision to reduce international student permits, which has created financial pressures across Canadian universities.
