As the pandemic hits budgets hard, Kenney's UCP is continuing to
push towards "performance-based funding" for Alberta's
universities, colleges, and post-secondary institutions. How does
this contribute to the already ongoing corporate influence and
profit-making trends we've seen in post-secondary education, and
how do these changes contribute to the UCP's broader assault on
organized labour in the province? Marc Schroeder, former president
of the Mount Royal Faculty Association, joins Team Advantage to
discuss why low-cost, accessible, and public post-secondary
education in Alberta is something we can't afford to
lose.
