Vancouver Sun: Funding cut shocks universities
The B.C. government has delivered a nasty surprise to the province’s universities: Their funding for the coming year will be millions of dollars short of what they were told to expect.
The shortfall – nearly $16 million provincewide – is due to a decision by Victoria to shift money away from universities and into programs at B.C.’s colleges and trade schools.
Last spring, the B.C. government sent letters to all public post-secondary institutions outlining how much funding it expected to provide them over the next three years.
