The Ontario government is expected to announce funding today for post-secondary institutions grappling with financial pressures.
A report commissioned by the province found that low levels of provincial funding to colleges and universities combined with a tuition cut and freeze in 2019 represent a “significant threat” to the financial sustainability of the sector.
It said that funding for publicly assisted colleges for full-time domestic students is at a lower level than in every other province.
Premier Doug Ford has already ruled out any tuition fee increases, but Colleges and Universities Minister Jill Dunlop is set to make an announcement today.
