I would like to see more thought put into this proposition.

All of UPEI’s stakeholders have the right to be heard and it is the responsibility of the government to listen.

Whoa! Since when did the definition of a university change? Since when does a decision which carries so much potential to impact our whole province get such brief and non-public deliberation?

Over the past decade or more UPEI has expanded and enhanced its status as a "great small university" in a number of areas and at a challenging time for post-secondary education.

Having five or six degree granting institutions on the Island would add significantly to overhead costs and would reduce the budget and quality of all such institutions.
