The new year in downtown Brampton was marked by a series of student protests at the city’s satellite campus of Algoma University.
As the exploitation of international students at post-secondary institutions across Canada continues to make national headlines, the hard-to-fathom enrolment trajectory at Algoma’s local campus illustrates the fundamental problem: in just three years the number of students at the campus has grown by approximately 900 per cent.
Almost all of them are from India. There is no housing provided for them and they pay more than three times the fees charged to Canadian and American students.
