Some students from Saudi Arabia at the University of Windsor might be packing their bags following an order from their home country.
Like other Canadian institutions, the school is trying to figure out how many of their students will be affected in a diplomatic spat between Saudi Arabia and Canada over a tweet urging the release of detained female activists.
The order impacts those students receiving a Saudi scholarship.
Saudi Arabia is cancelling scholarships for more than 15-thousand students currently attending school in Canada. Saudi state airline says all flights to and from Toronto will be suspended starting August 13.
University of Windsor spokesperson John Coleman says about 70 Saudi students attended the school during the last academic year and he's unsure how many have registered for September.
He suggests any concerned student should call student services.
Meanwhile, there are two students registered at St. Clair College from Saudi Arabia, but spokesperson John Fairley says they're unaffected as they're paying their own way.
