McGill University to be Fined

The Quebec Education Minister Line Beauchamp has finally decided to calculate a financial penalty to be charged to McGill University.

McGill has been charging well above standard tuition fees compared to other universities that offer the same programs.

The current annual price for McGill’s Masters of Business Administration degree program is twenty nine and half thousand dollars. Comparable to the University of Montreal who charges two thousand and sixty eight dollars.

With tuition fees already proposed to rise in Quebec. Beauchamp has been talking about assessing McGill for months.

Marie Malavoy with the Parti Quebecois says she is surprised Beauchamp took so long to take action. Malavoy also pointing out that Beauchamp is the second education minister who has promised to intervene.

The McGill administration has no comment on Beauchamp’s decision to retaliate.
