Bill would give government more control over Nova Scotia's 10 universities.

It would allow it to appoint up to half of the members of a university’s board of governors.

The bill would link funding decisions to the government's social and economic priorities.

Peter McInnis says it could lead to political interference that could disrupt areas of university research.
