In one generation, the cost of undergrad tuition has more than DOUBLED. Meanwhile the cost of living has gone up 69%. What we need is affordable college and university – and instead Canada’s getting tuition fees that are outpacing inflation. Learn more at Education2025.ca

The idea that Trump's threats against Ukraine, Canada and Greenland are a resource grab sounds reassuringly logical. Say what you will about the tenets of extractive imperialism, at least it's an ethos. It's also demonstrably not true, I write. www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/arti...

Nova Scotia has proposed legislation increasing political interference in universities. Political interference in education isn’t just an American phenomenon. It’s alive and well in Canada too. Politicians should not dictate the priorities of universities.

On Canadian university and college campuses, students should be free to learn and teachers free to teach. Post-secondary education needs to remain free from political interference.

@caut.bsky.social David Robinson describes academic freedom as a chair with four legs: 1) teaching, 2) research, 3) service and criticism of our institutions, 4) the right to speak out on issues of the day. Remove one, and the chair is unbalanced and useless.
