McGill University passes motion against budget cuts - CBC

McGill University's Board of Governors said there is no way it can cut $20 million by April, as prescribed by the Parti Québécois government. The institution's board spoke out for the fist time Thursday since the provincial government made the announcement that universities have the next four months to cut $120 million in spending. For McGill, the cuts represent nearly five per cent of its operating budget. Heather Munroe-Blum, McGill's principal, called the belt-tightening measures "draconian, unpredictable, [and] ineffective to running a quality-accessibility university system." http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/montreal/story/2012/12/13/mcgill-university-spending-cuts.html
