Le Devoir has published a series of articles about the findings of a 2018 investigation into allegations that Université TÉLUQ helped students to obtain loans and bursaries they were not entitled to receive. The university reportedly counted students who were enrolled in language courses as undergraduate students, making them eligible for financial assistance. This included students recruited by Institut MATCI, which reportedly received $9.5M in royalties through its partnership with TÉLUQ between 2014 and 2018. The Government of Québec Ministry of Higher Education stated that it has not recovered any of the funds that were paid out to students. MP Michelle Setlakwe called for further transparency and answers, but the QC Ministry of Higher Education told Le Devoir that the situation has been resolved.
