The enrolment and related funding conditions facing Northern universities and Faculties of Arts raise fundamental questions about Ontario’s market-oriented, tuition-fee dependent provision system for university education in hinterland-colonial conditions such of those of Northern Ontario.

The report examines the changes in the government funding model for such post-secondary institutions and their gradual decline over time.
