Laurentian wrong to close clinic

Wendy Hampson's Letter to the Editor of The Sudbury Star::

"I feel it necessary to clarify a few facts that have been swirling in the media since the closure of the Voyageur Athletic Therapy Clinic at Laurentian University on June 29.

The university has stated in the media that it was surprised to discover Laurentian was the only university left that fully subsidizes a clinic.

Preliminary research indicates that of 26 responses to date to a survey of 51 universities in Canadian Interuniversity Sport, 26 universities fund an on-campus athletic therapy clinic. Eleven clinics are 100% funded by the university with no expectation to generate revenue.

Thirteen are funded by the university with some expectation to generate revenue."
