Again, that's concerning, because over the last three decades we've seen the progressive public underfunding of post-secondary education. In the early 1990s, it was about 80% of revenues for post-secondary education that came from public sources. Now that number is less than 50%. Institutions are making up those revenues however they can, predominantly through tuition fees and predominantly through what are generally deregulated international student tuition fees, and, as you said, through private partnerships in many cases with corporations either in Canada or abroad.
It's really threatening the public nature of our institutions, the ability to protect academic freedom and a number of the other values that we hold to heart in our current system.
