If you like exercises in Doublespeak, you'd love the York University admin's statement about how their program suspensions will foster academic innovation as well as Truth and Reconciliation:

By the way, the Auditor General's report included the observation that York's admin had grown in size and pay at a massive rate. And yet they don't seem to be keen on "innovating" their way towards reducing administrative bloat.

York University is canceling its Indigenous Studies program just two years after its first graduating class. More details here. https://www.facebook.com/712517164/posts/pfbid02b4N1Fu48oc8n6i8pe2UmKHPhRimKeJL4yya5zN4uK78ZytYvKDkquewVuviruyT5l/?app=fbl #YorkUniversity #reconciliation #IndigenousStudies

My university, York U, is suspending admissions to a bunch of programs, mainly in the humanities. This includes Indigenous Studies.

There's news coverage in @torontostar. But it doesn't really address the cause.
