- “U of M unions riled about privatization, cuts: Rally just the start, professor warns.” Nick Martin. Winnipeg Free Press (14/2/13): “Union leaders accused the U of M of widespread privatization and contracting-out, of plummeting morale and of students and staff suffering from spending cuts. They said this transpires while the administration pumps millions into advertising and more front-office staff.”
- “Tories push for a revamp of higher education system: Lukaszuk seeks less duplication in programs.” James Wood. Calgary Herald (14/2/13): “Advanced Education Minister Thomas Lukaszuk says he wants a more unified post-secondary system and plans to issue mandate letters defining the roles of each of the 26 publicly-funded universities and colleges across Alberta.” Now that sounds painfully familiar. <cough>NB PSE crisis of 2007<cough>
