On January 22 the Université de l'Ontario français (UOF) confirmed it now has the funding to move forward - the main focus will be hiring senior staff, including its next president.
The federal government will fund the university for its first four years, after which the Government of Ontario will take over for the next four years. The two levels of government will share the total funding of $126 million dollars, contributing $63 million dollars each.
"My priority for the board of governors is to assemble a top-notch team," says Dyane Adam, chair of the board of governors for the UOF, who has been involved in this project since the beginning.
