How will the new Federal Budget affect Canadian Universities,York in particular?
Mike Baker film student, Faculty of Fine Arts “I don’t know much about the budget, but it can’t be good. It never is.” May Dalume staff member, York Federation of Students “I think the budget will create a larger decrease in accessibility to post secondary education even more than there already is, because inevitably there will be another rise of tuition. This demonstrates a serious lack of priority in public education.” Sarah Ruuska Film student, Faculty of Fine Arts “Once the Government gets off its debt reduction binge the universities might start seeing some cash, but as it is now, there is too much emphasis on the debt, and not enough on education.” Mike Chimienti Co-op student with The Excalibur “I think the budget creates a bigger space between the people that can afford education, and those who can’t. The release of the budget demonstrates education becoming more of a privilege and less of a right.
