An Ontario university non-salary price index is presented that attempts to measure the impact of inflation on non-salary expenditure. Using 1970-71 as the base year (in which the index equals 100), the changes in prices of non-salary expenditures for 1976-77 are shown. The non-salary expenditures covered include books and periodicals, furniture and equipment, operational supplies and expenses including part of externally contracted services, utilities, and renovations and alterations. It was found that for 1976-77, the Ontario university index was 13.7 percent higher than the Canadian Consumer Price Index and by the end of 1977-78 the Ontario university index is expected to be 14.5 percent higher than the Consumer Price Index.
