(1) $1.5 million. (2) Due to synergies between the two colleges, it is expected that a great range of courses and places will be available at the two campuses to the benefit of both the community and the industries serviced by the colleges. (3) An implementation committee is currently being formed to determine the process for amalgamating the colleges and will include consideration of staffing requirements of the new institution. Although it is expected that no loss of lecturing staff will occur, some administrative positions will be surplus. No forced redundancies will result from the amalgamation.
