Tuition Fees and University Accessibility

Benjamin Levin

Canadian Public Policy, 1990, vol. 16, issue 1, 51-59

Abstract: This paper examines appropriate tuition fee policy for Canadian universities and government. It finds that a policy of low tuition does not enhance accessibility, but that it does limit the ability of universities to raise revenues and may reduce the responsiveness of universities. The paper concludes that a policy of direct assistance (programmatic as well as financial) to those with needs would be a much sounder policy choice.
