MEMORIAL University might have to say goodbye to its campus in the United Kingdom, as staff work to address the institution’s $20 million deficit and declining student enrolment at home reports the Canadian Broadcasting Company.

“We are outspending our revenue, and as a consequence we need to reconcile every dollar against our priorities,” MUN president Janet Morrison told CBC News on Thursday.

Morrison said MUN’s priorities are academic quality and student experience as the university navigates its tough financial situation by evaluating the operating costs of all its assets, including its Harlow campus.

Harlow campus, located in Old Harlow, is a study abroad centre for MUN students that opened in 1969 after Newfoundland premier Joey Smallwood asked Lord Stephen Taylor of Harlow to become president and vice-chancellor of the university.

Harlow was established after Taylor accepted the position to connect St. John’s, “the oldest town in the new world,” with Harlow, “the newest town in the old world.”
