Thanks for bringing this to light. Sadly, a lack of transparency is nothing new from Queen’s istration. Keep asking questions; the contradiction between the recent audit and the fact they are now crying poor is impossible to square without more information coming out.

Well duh! It was obvious to anyone in an unregulated discipline that redistributing funds from one group of students in a well-sought after professional program to another group of students in a ‘niche arts program’ was bound to be unsustainable. Of course these issues take a 10-20 years to become apparent, but by then the damage is done. Of course deregulated tuition is no panacea, due to academics and staff demanding pay increases, thereby trickling down to large tuition increases, however at least it provides a sort of sustainable outcome, with students able to make choices about whether or not they choose to attend. Graduated from a deregulated program and will never donate a cent to Queen’s due to the diversion of my tuition funds to those who attend bird courses and other mind-expanding, career limiting disciplines.
