University reports 2025-26 expenses totaling $1.184 billion

On October 23, 2026, Matthew Evans led a financial information forum for Queen's University staff, faculty, and student leaders. The forum provided an update on the University’s 2025-26 audited financial statements. The University reported total expenses of $1.184 billion, which represented a 1.7 per cent increase from the previous year.

The University acknowledged enduring a financially challenging period, citing enrolment limitations as a sector challenge. Despite this, Vice-Principal Donna Janiec noted that the salary and benefits expense line stabilized for the first time, partly due to faculty retirement programs over the last two years.
