Quebec’s three English-language universities criticize the plan, which they say could jeopardize programs and impact budgets
McGill University’s vice-chancellor warned that the Quebec government’s new plan to nearly double tuition fees for out-of-province anglophone students could jeopardize the status of the medical school, while Bishop’s University principal and vice-chancellor predicted a “catastrophic” impact that could wipe out a quarter of its budget.fees for English-speaking students from other provinces in the government’s latest effort to protect the French language.
Mr. Saini was not available for an interview, nor did he respond to additional questions asking for more information about the potential impact to the school.’s senior administration, board members and teams across campus to demonstrate the negative effects these measures would have on the university, the higher-education sector, and on the whole of Quebec society, and is focused on working with government and partners to reverse the impacts.
Quebec Minister of Higher Education, Pascale Déry, who did not respond to a request for comment on Monday, said last week that the current fee structure means the province subsidizes out-of-province students’ anglophone education at a cost of more than $100-million per year. Ms. Déry announced plans to claw back the higher fees from the province’s three anglophone institutions and use them to fund measures to attract more French-speaking international students.
“What we’re seeing is that it could be catastrophic in accounting terms. It could pose a threat to our continued survival,” he said. “It’s not trivial. It’s not a few percentage points of our total revenue. It’s very substantial.”
