Judge nixes hikes and French for ROC students

A Superior Court judge struck down the tuition hike and francisation requirements for out‑of‑province university students on Thursday, a case brought by McGill and Concordia.

But it’s not all rainbows and roses. The tuition rules stand for nine months, during which the government has to come up with a new fee structure. But the requirement that 80% of the students at those universities have to learn French besides everything else they need to do is gone – until the government finds a way around this.
