Question

(McKinney v. UofG) Difference between community colleges?

A. Community colleges are not covered by the Charter
B. There is no difference; both are treated the same under the Charter
C. Community colleges have different Charter rights than universities
D. Community colleges are fully exempt from the Charter

Answer 1

Community colleges do not have the same Charter rights as universities.

Step-by-step explanation:

Community colleges and universities have different Charter rights under the Constitution of Canada.

While universities are covered by the Charter, community colleges are not. This means that the rights and protections guaranteed by the Charter, such as freedom of expression and equality, may not apply to community college students in the same way they apply to university students.

Therefore, option A is correct: Community colleges are not covered by the Charter.
