Manitoba universities are trying to deal with the 0.9 per cent cut in funding.
Four universities, the University of MB, the Unversity of Winnipeg, Université de Saint Boniface and Brandon University are all increasing tuition by the maximum 6.6 per cent.
The one that stands out is the Canadian Mennonite University, which is only modestly increasing tuition.
CMU differs from the other universities because it only receives a third of its operating funding from the province and is less affected by the decrease in provincial funding.
