This report presents comparisons of Canadian university financing on a province by province basis. An introductory section describes the project through which the study was undertaken, explains the indicators used, and discusses structural problems encountered in making comparisons. The central portion of the report is a tabulation of these indicators for each province and for Canada as a whole: provincial operating grants per student; provincial operating grants per capita; provincial operating grants plus student aid per capita; provincial operating grants plus fees per student; total operating income per student; provincial operating grants plus student aid as a percentage of gross general expenditures; provincial operating grants per $1,000 of provincial personal income; and total university operating expenditures as a percentage of provincial gross domestic product. Appended materials include guidelines and definitions and financial and enrollment data for each province. (JB)

Canadian interprovincial comparisons of university financing are presented for 1981-1982, with particular reference to government support. The data pertain to the amount of financial support provided to universities, the way that university financing fits into each government's priorities, and the proportion of provincial resources that is directed toward university financing. Information is provided on the following eight indicators: provincial operating grants per student, provincial operating grants per capita, provincial operating grants plus student aid per capita, provincial operating grants plus fees per student, total operating income per student, provincial operating grants plus student aid as a percentage of provincial gross (government expenditure), provincial operating grants per $1,000 of provincial personal income, and total university operating expenditure as a percentage of provincial gross domestic product. The values of the eight indicators for 1974-1975 to 1981-1982 are reported. Appendices include the data used for the calculation of the indicators, along with information on the guidelines and definitions on which interprovincial comparisons are based. Each indicator is also briefly described. (SW)

Eight indicators used to make interprovincial comparisons of university financing in Canada are outlined and the values of these indicators are presented for 1974-1975 to 1980-1981. The Tripartite Committee on Interprovincial Comparisons has directed attention to how much financial support is provided to universities, how university financing fits into the government's priorities, and the proportion of provincial resources that is directed toward university financing. The eight indicators selected as most useful in addressing these concerns are as follows: provincial operating grants per student and per capita, provincial operating grants plus student aid per capita, provincial operating grants plus fees per student, total operating income per student, provincial operating grants plus student aid as a percentage of provincial gross (government) expenditure, provincial operating grants per $1,000 of provincial personal income, and total university operating expenditure as a percentage of provincial gross domestic product. A major obstacle considered included the different structures of postsecondary education existing in the provinces. Another is inconsistencies that can arise in interprovincial comparisons because of particular data definitions used in different jurisdictions. The Committee has attempted to overcome many of these discrepancies through the set of guidelines and definitions which are appended. These pertain to provincial operating grants and student aid, fees, total operating income and expenditures, enrollment, provincial gross domestic product, personal income, population, and gross general (government) expenditures. Financial and enrollment data are presented for the 10 provinces, including college transfer statistics for British Columbia. (SW)

Canadian interprovincial comparisons of university financing are presented for 1982-1983, with particular reference to government support. The data pertain to the amount of financial support provided to universities, the way that university financing fits into each government's priorities, and the proportion of provincial resources that is directed toward university financing. Information is provided on the following eight indicators: provincial operating grants per student, provincial operating grants per capita; provincial operating grants plus student aid per capita, provincial operating grants plus fees per student, total operating income per student, provincial operating grants plus student aid as a percentage of provincial gross (government) expenditure, provincial operating grants per $1,000 of provincial personal income, and total university operating expenditure as a percentage of gross domestic product. The values of the eight indicators for 1974-1975 to 1982-1983 are reported. Appendices include the data used for the calculation of the indicators, along with information on the guidelines and definitions on which interprovincial comparisons are based. Each indicator is also briefly described. (SW)

Canadian interprovincial comparisons of university financing are presented for 1983-1984, with attention to: financial support provided to universities, how university financing fits into each government's priorities, and the proportion of provincial resources directed toward university financing. Information is provided on the following eight indicators: provincial operating grants per student, provincial operating grants per capita, provincial operating grants plus student aid per capita, provincial operating grants plus fees per student, total operating income per student, provincial operating grants plus student aid as a percentage of provincial gross (government) expenditure, provincial operating grants per $1,000 of provincial personal income, and total university operating expenditure as a percentage of provincial gross domestic product. The values of the eight indicators for 1974-1984 are reported. Appendices include financial and enrollment data by province, and guidelines and definitions on which interprovincial comparisons are based. All data pertain to the operating fund, which accounts for the costs of instruction and research, academic support services, administration, plant maintenance and other operating expenses of the university financed by fees, grants, and other general income.
