In an article for the Toronto Star, Marsha Barber (Toronto Metropolitan University) reflects on the Government of Ontario’s changes to the Ontario Student Assistance Program and tuition and the potential impact on students in precarious positions. Barber describes her own path to independence at a young age, and how a full scholarship offered her access to life-changing education. Increasing tuition, writes the author, most affects students who do not have financial help. Barber calls the changes to the system a “conundrum,” as it provides universities and colleges with stable funding, but at the cost of students.
