PEI bows to pressure over Degree Granting Act

From the PEI Guardian:

A controversial bill that would pave the way for other degree-granting institutions outside of UPEI is being postponed, Premier Robert Ghiz announced this morning at Province House.

The province was planning to introduce a new Degree Granting Act this fall. That was in response to developer Richard Homburg’s plans to develop Homburg University, a privately funded school focusing on real estate studies.

UPEI mounted a campaign against the act and Opposition Leader Olive Crane called on the province to shelve the bill until public consultations were held.
