Algonquin College, a community college in Ontario, is withdrawing from Saudi Arabia. The college plans to transfer control of its male-only campus in Jazan, a city close to the Yemeni border, to its Saudi partner. “After more than a year of negotiation, we were unable to come to an agreement that would have met our financial objectives,” Algonquin’s president, Cheryl Jensen, said in a news release. “We have said from the beginning that the Jazan campus must be financially viable for us to continue operating.”
