Ontario Catholic colleges feel effect of tuition freeze May 20, 2021
“The bottom line is: yes,” St. Jerome’s University president and vice chancellor Peter Meehan told
The Catholic Register when asked if the freeze would be bad for Catholic colleges. “Most of us get flow-through funding from the public university based at least in part on tuition for enrolments. The tuition freeze has meant significant losses for the public universities.”
The Ontario government announced a second year of tuition freezes April 30, following its 2019-20 across-the-board 10-per-cent tuition cut.
“The financial uncertainty due to the COVID-19 pandemic further underscores the need to keep college and university programs affordable,” Colleges and Universities Minister Ross Romano said in a release. “By freezing tuition our government is continuing to reduce the financial strain on families’ pocketbooks.”
