Observations on the Prospects for a Private UniversitySector in Ontario*\n\nROBERT M.PIKE**  \n## Abstract\n\nUnlike the United States,the Canadian provinces have established publicmonopolies of degree-granting institutions to which there are few privateexceptions.This paper offers a case-study of challenges to the public monopolyin university education in one province—Ontario.Recently,the OntarioCouncil on University Affairs has been hearing the opinions of a number ofinterest groups and private colleges which have challenged the regulationslimiting broad degree-granting privileges to the existing publicly-fundeduniversities and their affiliates.Following a brief historical account of thedevelopment of the public monopoly,the arguments of these proponents ofprivate universities are reviewed and evaluated under the headings of theirproposed benefits of \"accessibility\",\"diversity\"and“quality”.It is concludedthat,from a sociologist's perspective,the arguments for the establishment ofprivate universities in the province are not strong.However,given the currentemphasis on privatization,the pressure for private universities will probablycontinue to grow in all Canadian provinces.Thus,a recommendation is madefor improvement of Ontario's current inadequate affiliation arrangements.  \n## Résumé\n\nAu contraire des Etats-Unis,les provinces canadiennes ont établi desmonopoles publics d'institutions qui accordent des diplomes,auxquelles il y apeu dexceptions privées.Ce rapport représente une étude de dossier des défisau monopole public en éducation universitaire dans une province—I'Ontario.Récemment,le Conseil des affaires universitaires de I'Ontario a entendu lesopinions de plusieurs groupes intéressés et de collèges privés qui ont reven-diqué les règlements limitant les pleins privilèges des universités actuellesfinancées par le public et de leurs filiales à accorder des diplomes.A la suite  \n*The author acknowledges the financial

Introduction\n\nThe concept of “privatization”is much in vogue at the present time.Incountries such as Canada,Britain and the United States,it has been applied as abasis for policy decisions primarily to deregulation or the sale of public assets invarious spheres of communications and transportation.Behind this trendappears to be a substantial suspicion of public and regulated monopolies whichwere established in earlier times to serve the public interest as traditionallyconceived.Amongst these monopolies can be included public primary andsecondary education which has dominated in most western countries for the past150 years,although fee-paying private schools run by individuals and groups,and in some cases enjoying a measure of public funding,have usually temperedthe monopoly.At the post-secondary level,however,in countries such asCanada where there is a virtual public monopoly of university education,privatization has only recently posed some limited challenges to that monopoly.More generally,James Perkins,the chairman of the International Council forEducational Development(New York)has identified an international trendtowards privatization in the higher educational sphere as taking three forms:amore benign attitude towards the creation of new private institutions;a","cbCaipNXTjp5IIPm","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipNXTjp5IIPm","pdf",797151,27,"English","#
