What do we stand to lose under the student choice initiative?

  • Vital services that benefit all those who work and study on campus, particularly marginalized communities.

  • Student unions’ and labour unions’ ability to represent and advocate for their members.

  • Many full-time paid opportunities at a living wage for workers.

  • Avenues for students and workers to hold campus administration and government accountable.

  • A strong and united movement between students and workers.

Talking points on the cuts

Overview

  • Students and workers are appalled by the Doug Ford government’s shameful attempt to use a tuition fee reduction as a political gimmick to try and hide a $600 million cut to student grants, a $440 million cut to university and college budgets, all and a petty and vindictive attack on democratic students’ unions.

  • Ontario’s faculty, staff, and students are united in our opposition to these cuts and attacks, which threaten education quality, accessibility, and student life on campus.
