Say NO to Navitas

The senior administration at Western University is proposing to partner with a for-profit “pathway college” called Navitas (owned by Australian private equity firm BGH Capital) to open Western International College. Navitas’ business model is to recruit international students to Canada who wouldn’t otherwise qualify for admission. Students pay exorbitant tuition fees (approximately $50,000 CAD per year) for one or two year programs, and, once completed, are admitted to Western. Navitas would lease property from Western and pay out a percentage of its profits to Western.
