It's going to be a bit painful for the next few years, but I think this adjustment had to be made. Having a bunch of colleges turn into diploma mills for international students was not benefiting anyone in the long term.

The trouble is, I don't know if enough is being done to offset the loss. International students have been effectively subsidizing post-secondary education for a very long time, and I'm honestly not sure what the path forward is.

It seems they are only reducing sales and marketing type courses and not really touching the more blue collar trades type courses that have historically been the core of Red River's course offerings
