Following this review, the Council members met with eachinstitution separately so that the institution could present its budget request and provideadditional information to the Council. The Council also met with faculty and studentrepresentatives.Following the meetings with the colleges and universities, the Council developed apresentation for the Minister of Education & Advanced Learning, recommending fundinglevels for the post-secondary education system. This was based on the informationprovided by the colleges and universities and the Council’s analysis of fundingrequirements.
