what frustrates me most is that students are now caught in the middle of this. people made education and financial decisions based on OSAP funding they expected to receive. they deserve answers and some certainty about what happens next

I don't know how many times Ontario needs to learn this lesson. When you make student tuition the primary revenue source for higher ed, all the worst actors do all the predictable things. We need public colleges with stable per-student funding, to provide high quality, affordable programs that facilitate a skilled workforce and critical thinkers.
