The federal and provincial governments have been underfunding universities for decades. Recently, universities were able to start recruiting foreign students to make up for the shortfall, but it looks like that money tap will be turned down. It doesn't look like there's a plan to make up for it.

At the same time, the feds want to

recruit more than 1,000 top international researchers to Canada, with the budget injecting up to $1.7-billion into a suite of recruitment measures.

That'll be tough if universities see their income crater.

O boo hoo, Universities don't need unlimited growth. So what if they make less this year than they did last year. They are not hurting, only their unrestricted growth is threatened.

You don't even know the difference between universities and colleges.

Perhaps if you had of attended either institution, you wouldn't make comments like that one.
