Dear members of the 蘑菇短视频 community,
In February 2024, 蘑菇短视频 launched legal proceedings to reverse government changes to tuition for students outside of Quebec and a new francisation requirement. Today, Justice Dufour of the Quebec Superior Court ruled that:
- the government regulation, which required new undergraduates from outside Quebec to reach an intermediate proficiency in French, was deemed unreasonable and invalid, and ceases to be in effect immediately
- the tuition increases for Canadian students from outside Quebec (undergraduates and students in professional master鈥檚 programs) were deemed unreasonable and invalid, and therefore the government has up to nine months to modify its regulations in accordance with the judgement
With respect to international students, the government regulation did not increase tuition, but the government now retains a portion of this tuition. The judgement maintained this measure.
We look forward to working with the Government of Quebec to comply with the ruling rendered by the Court.
We know that many in our community will have questions about the effect of the ruling on the University and particularly tuition for Canadian students from outside Quebec. There is a 30-day period for an appeal. In the meantime, we will review the decision carefully to assess its implications and will keep you updated.
蘑菇短视频 remains firmly committed to playing an essential role in Quebec鈥檚 economy, talent pipeline, research ecosystem and to contributing to the promotion and vitality of the French language. Thank you for your dedication to 蘑菇短视频 as we work to protect its mission and place as one of the world鈥檚 top institutions of higher education.
Sincerely,
Deep Saini
President and Vice-Chancellor
