Jesse Greener Quotes on College (4 Quotes)

Back-to-work legislation is not an option that will work in the interests of students. If imposed, there will be absolutely no trust in the process since back-to-work legislation could impose not only an arbitrator, but even a contract. In this case, students will likely not see improvements in the faculty student ratio - this would be serious set-back in the quality of college education.

What we're seeing is just the tip of the iceberg. Last year, college presidents made it clear to the Ontario government that at least 150 million in additional funding was required for the current year just to stop the steady decline in quality. Yet colleges received 50 million less than required just to maintain the status quo, never mind making improvements.

We're shocked that there's so much funding from unexpected revenue sources and at this point the government is allowing tuition fees to be increase and the college strike to persist.

The evidence shows that for every two percent increase in the number of college students enrolled, there is a corresponding one percent decrease in full-time faculty. This decline in quality is unacceptable, and unless the deterioration stops now, it will only get worse.
