A war of words began this week between the heads of two Ontario colleges that quickly escalated to include some low insults.
A war of words began this week between the heads of two Ontario colleges that quickly escalated to include some low insults.
Conestoga College president John Tibbits reportedly hurled insults at Sault College's David Orazietti following comments Orazietti made about Conestoga's impact on the federal government's decision to cap international student enrollment.
Finger-pointing related to the cuts of study permits for international students has now escalated to foul language. Colleges in Ontario rely heavily on revenue from international students and a reduction in student numbers will have a significant impact.
Tibbits was recently quoted calling Orazietti a "whore" in response to claims that the Kitchener college is one of the "bad actors" that resulted in a reduction of international student permits.
CambridgeToday quoted Tibbits as saying: “Like Orazietti, why are his goddamn students in Toronto? Why not up there? Talk about a whore, I mean, he's taking a percentage of the profits of an operation.”
He allegedly added that Orazietti needed to “shut his mouth.”
Orazietti was taken aback by the vulgar comments.
