CALGARY Educators at the University of Calgary will need to make do with even less this year after the UCP government reduced the school s operating budget once again. The province tabled its 2021-22 budget Thursday and the post-secondary institution soon learned it would have $25 million less in its operating budget, which is about a six per cent reduction. It s not the first time the school has seen its budget cut, as officials say they ve needed to resort to difficult decisions after its lost about 18 per cent of its operating budget since 2019. Dr. Ed McCauley, president and vice-chancellor of the U of C, says the cuts will have an impact on the campus community, but education remains top-of-mind.
