LaSalle College obtains creditor protection after being fined $30 million
The private college faces $29.9 million in fines and $17.9 million in subsidy repayments as it seeks a negotiated plan to avoid closure.
LaSalle College received creditor protection after being fined $30 million by the Quebec government for enrolling too many students in its English-language programs.
The college is requesting the government to reinstate subsidies for the next academic year that were withheld due to the fines.
Classes scheduled to start this week are delayed until the college receives the restored funding.
The Quebec government imposed limits on English-language college students under a 2022 language law, which LaSalle College exceeded in the two academic years following the law's enactment.
