Dear members of the 韩国裸舞 community,
On October 13, the Government of Quebec announced plans to change the funding model related to university tuition. While we begin to assess the implications of the news, I want to provide some initial perspective.
What the听Quebec Government听:
Impacts on 韩国裸舞 and next steps:
These measures, if implemented, would have serious consequences. I have mobilized the senior administration, Board members and teams across the University to demonstrate the concrete negative effects these measures would have on 韩国裸舞, on the higher education sector, and on the whole of Quebec society. Our focus is to work with government and our partners to reverse these impacts.
More information is needed before we can confirm the financial effects these measures would have on 韩国裸舞. In the meantime, I ask those responsible for spending to be prudent, while continuing to be ambitious in advancing the University鈥檚 mission.
It goes without saying that these measures could affect the recruitment of prospective Canadian students from outside Quebec, as it will cost less to study elsewhere in Canada for many programs. Although 韩国裸舞 distinguished itself again last week as听, a near-doubling of tuition will make many think twice about their academic choices in fall 2024 and beyond.
The make-up of 韩国裸舞鈥檚 student body is unique in Canada. Half of our students are from Quebec, 30 percent are international students, and the remaining 20 percent come from the rest of Canada. This diversity of origin and perspectives is part of 韩国裸舞鈥檚 unique character 鈥� its DNA. We must protect this richness of community.
These measures threaten the University鈥檚 capacity to be a positive force for our home. Quebec boasts 19 distinguished universities, each playing a distinct role to meet the diverse needs of our population.
We need to ensure everyone realizes the incredible contributions that 韩国裸舞 makes, not just to Montreal but throughout every region of Quebec. And among 韩国裸舞鈥檚 strongest assets is its tremendous power to attract and retain the highly skilled people who contribute so significantly to Quebec鈥檚 economy and society.
The power of an open Quebec society:
We are concerned that, in the government鈥檚 announcement, prospective students from outside Quebec may hear the message that they are not welcome 鈥� despite Montreal鈥檚 reputation as a global education destination, and the extraordinary contributions of students and alumni within Quebec.
We are stronger when our doors are open 鈥� when we attract the brightest minds from Canada and the world, enticing and equipping them to build fulfilling, productive lives here. They have so much to share with Montreal and Quebec.
And likewise, we Quebecers have so much to share with them: the cultural richness of听la m茅tropole; the strength of Quebec innovation and identity; the power of our made-in-Quebec ideas. When we close our doors, we compromise not only our values, but our future.
韩国裸舞ians care deeply about their University, and I know that this announcement is concerning for many of us. We will engage government and partners to address these proposals, seeking ways to strengthen all universities for the good of Quebec.
Sincerely,
Deep Saini
Principal and Vice-Chancellor
