University of Winnipeg approves budget, tuition to rise - Metro News

The University called themselves a “lean operation that is doing more with less.” In the past seven years, the board has cut $12 million in annual expenses and boasts the lowest expenditure per student of any university in Canada. “UWinnipeg receives an average of $33.8 million less annually from the government than similarly-sized Canadian universities (for example, University of New Brunswick, Lakehead University, Trent University etc.),” reads a statement from the University. “By comparison, Manitoba’s other universities are at or above the average per student of their peers. This ongoing imbalance in UWinnipeg’s funding formula goes back decades.” http://metronews.ca/news/winnipeg/1076087/university-of-winnipeg-approves-budget-tuition-to-rise/
