“I do not trust the university with my well-being anymore,” Megan Wong, a student senator in the pharmacy college, told the crowded meeting. “The university has made it loud and clear that they do not care about us.”

I've got some news for you Megan you will hopefully learn as you become an adult. Only a handful of people in this world care about you and the university people aren't them. They just want as much money as they can get from you even if it means getting loans that doom you to a life of debt servitude.

Thank you PAC for your inability to navigate a media deal. Horrible debt all over that conference.

I like how people act like 1 person controls all the money and 1 person got them into the mess.

No one’s fault?

Quite the opposite. Multiple people's fault. I guarantee there were multiple levels of oversight, or should have had been.

It was a team effort.

Why money grows on trees, or printer machines if you can kiss the right arse.

Might just be a brilliant plan by the U of A president to get himself shitcanned...

Errr, I mean, demoted to professor emeritus with a housing allowance, personal driver and $400K per year stipend.

Getting fired by a major university has to be one of the greatest career moves on the planet.

Unlike Washington DC, they can't print money to cover their shortfall.
