What Took So Long?

Heather Munroe-Blum is my hero.

Seriously.

The Quebec government on one hand slows down funding and then dares schools to not hike tuition?

Anyway, this is such a no-brainer given McGill's reputation, I won't go into further detail. By the way, even at these prices it's still cheaper than most major colleges and universities in the world. McGill should consider going private all the way.

What should stun people is this: It cost $3000 to get an MBA at one of the world's top universities. The actual cost of running the program is $22 000. That's a $19 000 shortfall someone has to make up. The government kicked in an amount (I don't know how much) but the balance came out of the pockets of other students in other faculties. Ridiculous. Ironic that a MBA program would break such a basic rule of business.

I turned down the chance to get a subsidy from the government for fear of them sticking their fat bureaucratic non-sensical BS in my business. I'm glad McGill give them the middle finger too. It brings back some esteem and pride to that excellent institution.

As for Mme. Courchesne hasn't she done enough already destroying the education system in Quebec?

Let's see. Obama transparency, people fighting back against the growth of government, institutions rediscovering its private soul...there's hope after all.

Cue it up The Ramones!

Beat on the brat with a baseball bat! Oh yeah! Oh yeah!
