The chaos caused at Laurentian University following a cyber incident affecting the university’s IT system last month was outlined by LU interim president Sheila Embleton at a March 19 meeting.
“And of course the online instructors who simply couldn’t do anything in the way that they were used to.” “You can imagine how difficult and labour-intensive this was for those involved with no systems available for much of that time,” Embleton wrote. “It is still about a month before the budgets will go to the Board Finance Committee, and we intend to meet that deadline.”
“I think there is a general recognition out there in similar institutions that in the current world, this could really have happened to any one of them, and we need to support each other.”
