About This Blog

Dare to Dissemble is my little online ranting place, where I air my thoughts about the ridiculous state of affairs at the University of Alberta--a formerly strong public institution with tons of potential being driven into the ground by inept governance and irresponsible government funding policies. Comments are welcome, but not expected. Like most blogs on the internet, this one languishes in obscurity and is read for the most part by its proprietor.

Send Your Kids to MUN?

Macleans OnCampus has a story about the cost of education at Memorial University in Newfoundland.  Tuition averages $2550 per year, and housing costs are similarly low compared with other Canadian universities.  The low tuition is due to a commitment by the provincial government to provide a greater degree of support, not unlike what used to be the case at Alberta and other Canadian universities.  This begs the question:  why are residents of Newfoundland able to get this sort of progressive action from their government, but no one else?  And in the meantime, if you have university educations to pay for, shouldn't you be looking at this institution?
