Brad Wall's vision for Saskatchewan Universities:
Program cuts, firings, increased tuition, cancelled classes, departmental mergers and closures, campus closures, corporatization and privatization. These reckless cuts will have lasting effects that will ripple throughout Saskatchewan. Current students may not be able to finish their degrees on time--if at all. As for alumni, what will an employer think of a degree from a program that no longer exists? Future students will suffer under Wall's "pay more for less" policy or will simply leave the province with the second highest post-secondary tuition in the country. Faculty and staff will have less job security.
As our province grows, there is a need to provide education and training to our workforce. We need well trained professionals to meet these growing demands - anthropologists, artists, dentists, doctors, engineers, historians, journalists, IT specialists, lawyers, librarians, linguists, nurses, psychologists, scientists and social workers, among so many others. These cuts will affect all of us from staff to students to faculty to community members.
Why is the SaskParty underfunding University education when the province is in an economic "boom"? Perhaps they spent too much money on a football stadium in Regina.
