Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the constraints economic recession has posed for Canadian higher education in the last two decades and how the decisions made to resolve the problems shape that institution. Canadian university administrations have been quite successful in meeting the economic challenges, balancing the budgets and even projecting an image of growth. In the process, universities have drawn closer to the corporate framework, going after tangible and visible criteria of success/productivity and an industrial model of research and staff management. In so doing they have undermined the roles of teaching and research. Since higher education in other parts of the Western world is faced with similar financial problems and has adopted similar strategies, the Canadian experience deserves careful study.
