Master’s student Tamara Rayan is pondering the need for a third job to pay down her student debt — she says the Ontario government’s changes to post-secondary funding will slash grants that cover half of her tuition fees. University of Toronto students protest on campus Wednesday. Schools will compensate for the loss of money “by hurting our most racialized, vulnerable, gender diverse and low-income students,” she said. “This is a shame.” The previous government had made it possible for low-income students to cover the bulk of their tuition fees with grants. The impending changes will now force those students to cover more of their tuition with loans.
