Differentiation of Ontario’s university sector

The Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario (HEQCO) has released a report which says that the Ontario government should base new funding for universities on whether they meet measurable goals.

HEQCO argues that this would result in a higher quality post-secondary system with a greater degree of differentiation. It notes that the path to greater differentiation in Ontario’s university sector should be guided by:

  • Equal value on the teaching and research functions of universities
  • Forging a contemporary relationship between Ontario’s colleges and universities
  • Linking the differentiation policy to funding decisions
  • More effective use of multi‐year accountability agreements and performance indicators to evaluate whether universities are meeting expected goals and targets
The full report, The Benefits of Greater Differentiation of Ontario's University Sector, is available here in .pdf format.
