RECOMMENDATION

 

 

WHEREAS at a March 12, 2008 meeting with the Minister of Advanced Education, public post-secondary institutions were advised that there would be cuts to the operating grants from the provincial government; and

 

 

WHEREAS Kwantlen University College has been a positive and important contributor to the social and economic conditions within our community; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that this Council write the Minister of Advanced Education and express its concern over the proposed cuts to operating grants for post-secondary institutions and the impacts that those cuts will have on affordability and access for students from this community and on the ability of Kwantlen University College to continue serving our community.
