  • Universities Receive Approval to Address Market Anomalies One-Time Tuition Fee Adjustments Will Help Balance Affordability and Quality
    April 7, 2010 Universities receive approval to address market anomalies One-time tuition fee adjustments will help balance affordability and quality Edmonton... One-time tuition fee adjustments for six professional programs will help Alberta’s two biggest universities maintain quality without compromising affordability for students. Minister of Advanced Education and Technology, Doug Horner approved the adjustments to address market anomalies that existed when tuition fees were capped in 2004. The increases will not apply to students who are currently in these programs or making plans for this coming fall. They will be implemented for new students starting in fall 2011. “These adjustments will ensure the continued quality of these programs,” said Horner. “Students have indicated their support and I understand that some are working with their universities to see a percentage of the new revenue reinvested into student supports, like scholarships and bursaries.” A total of 24 proposals were received from five institutions. The six accepted proposals are for Engineering, Pharmacy, Bachelor of Commerce and Graduate Studies programs at the University of Alberta and Bachelor of Commerce and Masters of Business Administration programs at the University of Calgary. Increases of between $800 and $3,300 per year were approved based on an anomaly existing in 2004, support from student associations, and keeping costs comparable to other programs in Canada. “These have not been easy decisions to make. You have to look at the proposals on a case-by-case basis,” said Horner. “In the end, what it really comes down to is finding the right balance between affordability and quality.

  • Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017
    Jason Kenney Elected Leader of UCP October 30, 2017 JASON KENNEY ELECTED LEADER OF THE UNITED CONSERVATIVE PARTY OF ALBERTA Introduction In a victory surprising for its size and decisiveness, Jason Kenney won the leadership of the United Conservative Party of Alberta (UCP) on Saturday, October 28. Kenney took 61.1 per cent of the almost 60,000 votes cast, besting former Wildrose Party leader Brian Jean with 31.5 per cent, and 7.3 per cent for Doug Schweitzer, who managed the late Jim Prentice’s Progressive Conservative leadership campaign in 2014. Background The win capped a fifteen-month process that began when Kenney launched the idea of uniting Alberta Conservatives into one party, and is a significant tribute to his organizational skills and superior ground game. Kenney’s success had several key steps: • On July 16, 2016, he announced he would seek the leadership of the Progressive Conservative Party on a platform of merging with Wildrose. • On March 18, 2017, he was elected leader of the Progressive Conservative Party with more than 75 per cent of the delegate votes. • Two months later, Kenney and Brian Jean announced a merger referendum among the membership of the PCs and Wildrose to be held on July 22. • The referendum was strongly passed by both parties by identical approvals of 96 per cent, which created the United Conservative Party and led the way to last Saturday’s leadership victory. Deep Political & Government Experience Born in Toronto and raised in Saskatchewan, Jason Kenney began his political life as a Liberal in 1988, serving as executive assistant to Ralph Goodale, then leader of the provincial Liberal Party.
