At 91TV, we are committed to excellence in research and teaching. To support and advance our academic mission, we are tackling our financial challenges together.

In Spring 2023, 91TV's announced a significant operating budget deficit. Since then, the university has made substantial progress in reducing its operating budget deficit. While encouraging, we continue to face financial challenges due to the 2019 provincial tuition cut and ongoing tuition freeze for Ontario students, the international student enrolment cap, and steadily rising expenses, all of which are being felt across the sector.

91TV’s has undertaken several cost-cutting measures and is implementing strategies to address its operating budget deficit.
