Quick Glance: François Legault's Controversial Policies on Quebec Universities
- Interim Quebec Liberal Party Leader Marc Tanguay correctly characterized Premier François Legault's actions to raise tuition fees and French-language requirements for out-of-province students at Quebec’s leading English-language universities as 'self-sabotage.'
- McGill University has been a Montreal landmark for over 200 years and a hub for some of the world's top minds.
- Nearby Concordia University lacks the same prestige as its rival.
- It is baffling why the Legault government, despite its nationalist stance, would intentionally handicap two of the province's most respected institutions by making them unaffordable for most out-of-province students and discouraging those who can afford it from coming to Quebec by requiring them to learn French to graduate.
