I have spent more time in academia than in politics. So I am fully aware of the need to allocate more money to students, especially given that the unemployment rate is extremely high among young people, that their parents have less money these days and that tuition costs more.
But I find it hard to accept that the federal government should get involved in tuition matters. To my mind, it would be more effective and even more constitutional to give more funding directly to students than to create legislation to control or influence tuition levels. Do you agree?
