Hiking tuition, slashing jobs: Manitoba's universities differ in their budget cut approach - Ian Froese, CBC News

While four of Manitoba's universities are hiking tuition by the maximum 6.6 per cent allowed by law, Canadian Mennonite University is taking a marginal approach by comparison. CMU, though — a small Winnipeg university with 900 students — is boasting a "very modest" tuition increase of one per cent for its undergraduate and graduate programs in the 2018-19 academic year — lower than any other university in Manitoba, and less than the current rate of inflation for Manitoba, says a CMU media release. http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/manitoba-university-college-tuition-increases-1.4694528
