The students who fill their classrooms pay generous tuition fees to study these topics, but the people who run the colleges seem woefully ill-informed. A report by Colleges Ontario warned that the province’s 24 public colleges face a host of challenges. The colleges note that non-union public sector salaries have been frozen for five years in Ontario, but so what?
