Universities excluded An article published in the February 12 edition of the News Bulletin, quoting from a Ministry of Colleges and Universities press release of January 16, indicated that provincial rent controls and federal price controls will apply to colleges, universities, and other pro- vincially supported post-secondary institutions. The federal/provincial agreement signed by Ontario and the federal government January 13 specifically excludes Ontario universities from the provisions of price control under the Anti-Inflation Board guidelines.
