Ontario has earmarked nearly $1.3 billion in funding for post-secondary institutions struggling with frozen tuition fees in the face of an upcoming federal cap on international students.

The funding, which will be handed out over a three-year period, is less than half of the recommendation Minister of Colleges and Universities Jill Dunlop received from an expert panel she tapped to examine post-secondary finances.
