you've raised a lot of good points.
but I would argue about your comments on fundraising.
Canadian schools are not like the schools in the states that have multi billion dollar endowments they're sitting on.
Most of the fundraising I see is to get enough money to account for the cuts from the government so you can keep the doors open, and maintain the facilities you have.
Government funding and tuition are not enough to operate post secondary in Canada.
