Given the track record of the Ontario government to date, this budget delivered what we expected: a continued attack on workers\u2019 rights, university autonomy and public services including postsecondary education, and needless cuts to public services, especially those aimed at low-income Ontarians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The overall postsecondary education and training sector budget is projected to be cut by $700 million, which mainly reflects a deep cut (over $670 million) to the Student Financial Assistance (OSAP) budget. This will reduce the budget for the sector from the $12.1 billion in 2018-19 to $11.4 billion in 2019-20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> The budget included several postsecondary-related announcements that will be of interest to faculty associations&#8230;.
