Algoma University Faculty Association accuses Vezina of prioritizing profit-making over the interest of students, causing damage to the school's reputation

Citing mismanagement — and claiming the university's reputation is on the line — the full-time professors with the Algoma University Faculty Association have voted "overwhelmingly" in favour of a vote of no confidence in school president Asima Vezina.

SAULT STE. MARIE, June 20, 2024 – In an effort to defend Algoma University’s quality education and reputation, on June 7, full-time professors voted overwhelmingly in favour of no-confidence in its president, Asima Vezina. “We want to support internationalization in a good way, taking responsibility for our students’ success and wellness,” says Pelham Matthews, Faculty Chair, Faculty of Business and Economics. “We cannot do that without proper student supports, especially in Brampton where there is no university library and other needed student supports are lacking or absent. Algoma University cannot be seen to be treating international students as a primary source of revenue.

Consultation between the president and professors has completely broken down. As experts in their fields, professors are not afforded proper input in the very programs they lead.
