Inkless Insiders

Without a doubt, my favorite political journo is the intrepid Paul Wells [1]; I get downright giddy when he posts about University affairs, which he does with some regularity.
Today’s post is noteworthy. It explains quite succinctly why tuition reduction is a profoundly misguided way to increase access, and how lower tuition actually keeps the under-privileged out of universities. Call that access? (Click here [2] for the article.)
The issue has been raised by Quebec Universities, trying to end that province’s freeze, and using BC as an example. Read the G&M story [3] here.
PS – Please visit the Radical Beer Tribune [4]. We like them today.
