Classes at LaSalle College will remain suspended until the school comes to an agreement with the government of Quebec, its CEO said Monday.
The private, not-for-profit college informed the public Monday morning it would indefinitely suspend classes, due to begin on Thursday, because it is facing a total of $30 million in fines for non-compliance with Bill 96.
Quebec’s Higher Education Ministry has said the college surpassed its quota of 716 English-program students for the 2023-24 academic year, resulting in an $8.78-million fine, and went 1,066 students over its 2024-25 quota, leading to an additional $21.11-million penalty.
