McGill and Concordia end legal dispute over out-of-province tuition increases

Montreal’s Concordia and McGill universities are discontinuing their legal challenges against Quebec’s 33 percent tuition hike for out-of-province students, citing financial constraints and a desire to improve relations with the provincial government. This decision follows a partial court victory where some aspects of the tuition changes were struck down, but the hike remains effective as the government revises its policy. Both institutions reported significant declines in out-of-province applications since the policy was implemented.
