This landing page examines the structural crisis facing post-secondary education in British Columbia—where the collapse of the international tuition model, chronic underfunding and discretionary access practices have combined to undermine both institutional sustainability and equitable student support—and offers a clear, evidence-based case for historic investment in accessibility. Through a curated timeline of key policy milestones, an economic analysis of funding shortfalls and detailed programmatic and infrastructure recommendations, it equips advocates, administrators and policymakers with the insights needed to restore public purpose, strengthen campus inclusion and reclaim BC’s global leadership in higher education access. Bold. Urgent. Achievable.
