"It’s important to understand how colleges became so dependent on the revenue from international tuition.
It’s because the Ontario government has been underfunding college education for over 15 years."

Going to college in Ontario shouldn't make you feel like just a number. And working at one shouldn't end as just another tally in a list of layoffs.

How the Doug Ford government has affected college faculty over the past 7 years:

2. Substantially increased privatization of our system
3. Has made the post-secondary funding crisis far worse
