Schools that assume an “anchor mission” in their communities help alleviate poverty, says a Toronto Star article. Citing as an example the University of Toronto Scarborough, a recent report “suggests that if the province’s higher education and medical institutions spent more of their collective $9.9-billion goods and services budget locally, they could kick-start local economic growth and job creation.”

Ontario university grads score good jobs, according to a recent report by the Council of Ontario Universities. States the report: “94 per cent of graduates had jobs two years after graduation, and almost 88 per cent were in jobs six months after graduation. The average salary two years after graduation was $49,001 and just six months after graduation it was $42,301.”

But is the cost of PSE worth it? This debate does not seem to go away. The answer, according to a Globe and Mail article by Tom Cestnick, is Yes, but . . .  it depends on the program and the level of student debt accumulated. While university grads earn the most compared with college and trades grads, “today’s economy and the proliferation of information technologies favour graduates with applied and technical skills over graduates with more generalist skills provided in the liberal arts.”

Is “administrative bloat” a real problem in Canadian universities? Alex Usher of Higher Education Strategy Associates has launched a series of blog posts (on September 3, 8 and 9, 2015) that purport to examine this issue through statistics provided by schools themselves. He finds that admin employment levels, in general, have risen far faster than faculty jobs. How will schools respond; or should they?
