With the rising cost of university education, a post-secondary education is becoming the bastion of the wealthy rather than the haven for the academically qualified. While all society demands an educated citizenry, governments are unwilling or unable to keep the costs for students down. Should Canada learn from other countries and make universities free to attend? Join the Faculty of Humanities for the lively debate "Be it resolved: University should be free."

Debators:
Dr. Rachel Cleves, History
Dr. Erin Kelly, English
Dr. Colin Macleod, Philosophy
Dr. Peter Golz, Germanic and Slavic Studies

Moderator:
Dr. John Archibald, Dean of Humanities
