Ombudsman slams Ont. government for not keeping closer eye on colleges

Ontario’s ombudsman slammed the provincial government Tuesday for failing to keep closer tabs on publicly funded colleges in a report that found a northern Ontario school left some of its graduates unqualified for jobs.

After a months-long investigation into Cambrian College’s two-year Health Information Management program, Andre Marin concluded it was not formally recognized by the Canadian Health Information Management Association, which controls entry into the profession.
