This requires a shift from thinking of care as an expenditure to understanding it as an economic driver through investment in people and good jobs.

Subjects of the New Corporate University: The Sabotage of Laurentian University
Thursday, May 6th, 2021
Fully half of the university’s programs, developed over 61 years, were eliminated… Laurentian University’s administration won an insolvency court’s permission to restructure the university in order to close less “popular” programs, in the name of achieving financial solvency… three of Canada’s ‘Big Six’ banks – RBC, TD-Canada Trust, and Bank of Montreal – have a vote on a restructured university plan, but faculty (no mention of the phrase ‘collegial governance’ has been hinted at) and students have no voice, no vote, and won’t be consulted in any genuine way.
