We urge the Government of Alberta to find the funding to sustain our universities, especially the province's flagship university, the University of Alberta. Our universities are a public good in which Albertans invest in the future of Alberta, and they must be funded from the public purse. We also urge the Government to prevent any further increases to student tuition fees. Post-secondary education must be accessible to all.

We hope all Albertans will join all members of the University of Alberta -- faculty, students, postdoctoral scholars, contract academic staff, support staff, and administrators -- in signing this petition. And we welcome the support of everyone around the planet who believes in the principles of the public university and accessible post-secondary education for all.
