Economic crisis threatens staffing levels, scholarships

As reported by the Canadian Press:

Post-secondary administrators across the country say the global economic crisis is threatening everything from staffing levels to scholarships, and one Ontario school announced Thursday it plans to cut tens of millions of dollars from its budget.

The Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada says schools across the country are facing similar struggles and is calling on the federal government to provide $2.4 billion in infrastructure funding in its upcoming budget to avert any further cuts.
