McGill calls tuition hike, new French rules ‘targeted attack’ on English universities
“The measures that the government released today are devastating,” McGill University principal Deep Saini told a news conference. “They are far worse than those announced on Oct. 13 — worse for Quebec, worse for its universities, worse for Quebec businesses that need talent and worse for McGill.” Saini said proposals made by the universities since November have been turned against them. “I can only view this as a targeted attack on institutions that have been part of Quebec and have contributed to Quebec for hundreds of years,” Saini said.

…Saini wouldn’t comment on whether McGill has reached out to the feds, or what legal routes it might take. “We have just received the minister’s letter and we are studying the consequences and details, and we are going to come out with the measures that we are going to take,” he said.
