But less than a decade later, in a dramatic reversal of spending priorities, funing policies threatened to squeeze the very life out of the provincial university system.In this wide-ranging study, Axelrod explores the impact of economic changes on Ontario universities since World War Two. He addresses the questions of how universities were percieved by the public, why they were supported during the period of expansion, how they set out to fulfil their prescribed functions, and how they were affected by the diminshed opportunities and cooler economic climate of the 1970s.This volume touches on such diverse issues as business-university relations, student financial assistance, manpower planning, and faculty unionization. It examines the internal dynamics of university life against the background of the social and economic conditions which directly affected Ontario universities but over which they had virtually no control. How could they plan for an economy that valued having no plan?The author concludes that not only did the universities prove to be imperfect instruments of economic development, but the efforts expended in the task compromised their vital role as islands of culture and critical thought in a materialistic society. 410 4$aThe state and economic life ;$v4 410 $aState and economic life ;$v4 606 $aUniversities and colleges$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aHigher education and state$zOntario$xHistory$y20th century 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aUniversities and colleges$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Higher$xEconomic aspects$xHistory 615 0$aHigher education and state$xHistory 676 $a378.713 700 $aAxelrod$b Paul$01019985 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910456141203321 996 $aScholars and dollars$92471040 997 $aUNINA
