Quebec has announced it would be doubling tuition for out-of-province students at English speaking universities, meaning McGill, Concordia and Bishop’s
William O’Connell is a doctoral candidate at the University of Toronto’s department of political science.
Under the new rules, the additional tuition fees will not go to the institutions. They will instead go to the government to be distributed to French universities. This effectively deprives English universities of funding. The province also separately announced they would be taking the first $20,000 from the tuition of international students, who currently pay just over $40,000. Universities previously kept the full amount.
This policy harms Quebec students as well. The province has already alienated its anglophone population. But many of the students at these English universities are francophones. If Bishop’s and Concordia do not survive, these students will have limited opportunities to attend university in English without leaving the province themselves.
This narrative simply is not true. Yes, some students leave after their degrees. But many stay, learn the language and integrate into Quebec’s distinct society.
