  • Summary

  • There is a crisis facing Canada’s post-secondary education sector that no one is talking about.

    Now that the federal government has slashed the number of international student permits available in Canada, colleges and universities from coast to coast are facing huge budget shortfalls.

    Several of Canada’s best schools are cutting programs and laying off staff just to stay afloat.

    These institutions have no choice but to take drastic measures, or risk going bankrupt.

    Host David Smith speaks with Elizabeth Buckner, Associate Professor of Higher Education at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education at the University of Toronto, about what’s at stake if things don’t change.
