Former BMO chief economist Tim O’Neill’s Report on Nova Scotia’s University System

Former BMO chief economist Tim O’Neill made national headlines this fall with the release of his controversial recommendations for restructuring Nova Scotia’s university system. Commissioned by the Nova Scotia government, the report was greeted with “cautious warmth by university administrators,” said the Globe and Mail, and “seeks to gut Nova Scotia universities,” said Maclean’s OnCampus. And that was just the beginning, as the postsecondary sector across Canada struggles with its own sustainability issues.
