Rising enrolment sees Cape Breton University turn Cineplex theatres into lecture halls
As reported in the Cape Breton Post, CBU announced in December 2021 it was leasing theatres at Cineplex in Sydney as a quick fix to a spacing need.during the COVID-19 pandemic, intake for January 2022 was at a record high and CBU campus needed more classroom space. "Everybody is like, OK, there is one thing; Cineplex is accessible, we can walk . But why are we paying for the other things?" she said
"But, I find it racist ....We are paying so much and we are not being treated equally. We feel left out."Prisha asked not to be identified because she fears the university might reprimand her or her visa will be withdrawn. "International students use every inch and corner of the university when I am in between my classes," said Akhil, who asked only his first name be published.
These posts were on two Facebook groups which are student community created and operated. The groups are not owned nor operated by Cape Breton University. Parsley responded about three and a half hours later saying no one was available for an interview and requested questions be sent by email.Cape Breton University students union president Damanpreet Singh spoke to the Post by phone about the situation and changes that have been made for the start of September classes.
Singh said there are changes people will notice when classes return next week. One is that the university has created a sitting area at Cineplex for students to study and eat.
