Image of a Toronto Star opinion piece on a tablet. The title of the article is: opinion - federal budget creates a massive educational opportunity for Doug Ford. A pulled quote at the top of the image reads: The premier has a golden political opportunity to swoop in to save Ontario’s universities by restoring adequate public funding for post-secondary institutions. But more importantly, the premier has an opportunity to leave a lasting, meaningful legacy for Ontario’s young people and the province’s future prosperity. Diane Orihel, Associate Professor at Queen's University
Ontario’s universities have the lowest per-student funding of any province in Canada. The provincial government can address this embarrassing gap by funding our universities at $11.75 for the next 5 years.
