Interchange Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Student fees for university programmes in Canada have risen dramatically in recent years.

The present essay comments on that argument and finds several weaknesses in it. Fee increases may still be necessary, but this argument at least does not establish that they are innocuous.
