Schools are heading for a more drastic decline than the 35 per cent intended cut in study permit applications for universities and colleges.

    How to fix it:

    1. Raise the standard of entry to reduce the size of the student population and generally increase the average intelligence level of the student population.
    2. Make it tuition-free for Canadian citizens, and well-funded by our government.
    3. Ban the universities from having online-only classes (except those schools which are specifically distance ed). These classes were put in place mainly as a revenue stream and to reduce costs. Getting rid of them will bring students back on campus to recreate a sense of community. Students and professors will get to know each other again.
    4. Eliminate course-only grad school programs. Those programs are just more undergrad-level work and were developed, again, purely as revenue streams. You shouldn’t be awarded a Masters degree or PhD purely for course work. That’s practically the definition of undergrad.
