In the next fiscal year, the University of McK offers cost reduction and dismissal to overcome the 45 million planned deficit in the next fiscal year, which is some of the reasons for the new Quebec government policies.
Administrators of the University of Montreal say that McKil faces the same challenges of other Canadian Post -Second Level Institutions, including the reduction of the registration of international students. However, they claim that McCoil was not affected by the Quebec government’s decision to increase the educational rights of students outside the province and restore registration income.
“These tensions have significant consequences of reaching our identity as the University of World Class,” said the McGilin Rector of Deep Saini on Friday during a General Assembly.
The university expects a shortage of 15 million in this fiscal year, but this deficiency may rise to the lack of 194 million in 2028 and if no change is made, the study said at the main sub-manfreddy meeting of the study.
Facing the threat of this shortage, the university plans to balance its budget and eliminate the planned deficit of 45 million, 16 million and 14 million years in the next three financial years. Mr. Manfreddy said that 80 % of McKilin’s operating costs refer to employees allocation, and most savings would come from the reduction of “administrative and university enrollment”.
He said that some savings (and not to replace the exit staff), eliminating overtime and reducing the work hours of the employees they want. Some vacancies may not be filled.
But we also know that this is not enough. In some situations, positions must be canceled, which can cause losses. This is a messy message. We know it and we don’t take this lightly.
Christopher Manfreddy, the main deputy registrar of the study
According to Vice-Registry Manfreddy, 250 to 500 posts will have to be removed, although McKil says that up to 360 employees leave the university for a variety of reasons, which can affect the number of layoffs. Each teachers have been given the budget purpose for the fiscal year 2025-2026, by putting an end to certain activities or reducing them, and eliminating the courses in the lower registration rate, and the priority of teaching can be achieved.
Federal ceiling for foreign students
The University introduces a new multi -year initiative “Horison McKil” to improve administrative performance and projects. Mr. Manfreddy described this initiative as “review of the budget model of the university.”
McKil is not the only ones to deal with the period of financial turmoil. Budget shortages and cuts of universities and colleges from across the country were often announced for the first time in January 2024 due to the central government’s ceiling in the number of foreign students. “Almost all universities are now facing a budget shortage of Canada,” said Manfreddy.
The Quebec government accepted a law in December, which, according to the region, gives the power of a great choice to limit the number of international students under the Educational Institute and Research Program.
Mr. Manfreddy also highlights many “unexpected” Quebec policies, especially in 2023, especially in 2023, which is a measure of Quebecal qualified to protect the French language in Montreal a year. The Caucasian government has decided to restore the majority of the educational rights of international students to reproduce French -speaking universities in Quebec.
According to the fall of 2025, the three English -speaking universities of Quebec should ensure that 80 % of undergraduate students from outside the province reach the intermediate jurisdiction in French at the time they receive their diploma.
“It has been more than two centuries to create this world, but it is a little more than a year to show deep discrimination,” the university said in a statement on Monday.
The second largest English -speaking university in Quebec has also reported important financial problems since the announcement of the new federal and provincial policies. Last week, the university announced that it would launch a shortage of 34.5 million in the current fiscal year as part of the government -approved financial recovery program.
However, concordia offers 79 million deficits in the financial year 2025-2026, due to factors such as the fall and salary increase. According to the authorized plan that this deficit should be reduced to 31.6 million.
The university says that it is to stop hiring employees and try to hire students, but also find 22 million more savings to achieve its compulsory deficit limit. Both McKil and Concardia say that a series of shortages may affect their credit rating and increase the price of loans.
Rad Jasim, president of the McKillian lecturers and instructors, said the budget cuts could be harmful to students and harm the quality of their education. His union refers to about 2,000 lecturers, and according to him, he will teach more classes with low support for administrative staff and teaching assistants.
“It will be a play. You are entering, creating your presentation, you are leaving, “he said.“ Usually we spend a lot of time outside the classroom, for private lessons or office hours. All of this will be reduced. »
