Students walk at the entrance to McGill University in downtown Montreal.
The prestigious Montreal university was set to invest $50 million on a program to teach students, faculty and staff French to "integrate more fully into Quebec society," but says it is pausing the program.Thousands of out-of-province students who attend institutions like McGill University have an 'anglicizing effect' on the Montreal area, according to the province's minister of the French language, Jean-François Roberge.
But Quebec's three English universities, McGill, Bishop's and Concordia have said the plan would have devastating financial consequences for them. The university was alerted a few days ahead of Déry's tuition hike announcement that changes were coming that could affect the school's financial situation but was not informed what those changes would be, according to the email, which was unsigned.
