Trends in Higher Education - Volume 3: Finance

Abstract

This third and final volume of the 2007-08 edition of Trends focuses on the resources that Canadian universities have to support their teaching and research activities. The volume begins by comparing the combined funding for teaching and research in Canadian universities with higher education funding in some of our most important comparator countries: the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia. The second section examines the structure of Canadian university funding and funding trends in Canada over the last three decades. The third section illustrates the factors that will drive change in the decade ahead and which are likely to influence future funding requirements.
