Rephrased - "by students who believe that political activism ensures societally beneficial reasonable cost tuition is worth advcocating for."
Notice the difference?
Quebec has low tutions because the students don't passively accept tuition hikes.
There is a lesson here.

Here's an idea. If credentialism means that a college diploma only gets a GENY grad as far as high school got a Boomer, then 2 years of post-secondary should be FREE. College is 'the new high school'. That would also cover half the new Ontario 4 year university degree. We got rid of Grade 13, and unloaded the cost onto the students - actively regressive!
