David Dingwall, president and vice-chancellor of Cape Breton University: "We welcomed the W5 team to our campus to share with them the ways in which we are addressing these challenges. Unfortunately, much of this information did not air or was presented inaccurately." CONTRIBUTEDSYDNEY, N.S.
David Dingwall, CBU's president and vice-chancellor, wound up being grilled with questions from W5 reporter Molly Thomas on CBU's role, or lack of a role, in helping international students adjust to life in Cape Breton amid a growing campus but with a major shortage of housing and few future job opportunities.
"To the Cape Breton Community: We are aware of the CTV W5 report that aired Saturday evening," Dingwall said in his statement. — The Housing Taskforce has met with private developers to explore on and off-campus housing options for students and has met with eight different developers. — Renovations to an existing residence space will result in more than 200 additional beds on campus and will allow us to remove the mandatory full meal plan for these units.Dingwall concurred that the housing shortage situation in Cape Breton Regional Municipality"needs to be addressed."
