Ford government’s tuition cut to cost universities $360 million and colleges $80 million - KRISTIN RUSHOWY, the Star

The tuition announcement, expected Thursday from Merrilee Fullerton, minister of training, colleges and universities, will cut and then freeze tuition rates for the next two years, a $360 million loss for universities alone. For colleges, the amount is about $80 million. https://www.thestar.com/politics/provincial/2019/01/16/ford-governments-tuition-cut-to-cost-universities-360-million-and-colleges-80-million.html
