Autonomy and Control: A University Funding Formula as an Instrument of Public Policy.

Darling, Alexander L.; And Others

Higher Education, v18 n5 p559-83 1989

Formula funding in Ontario is used as a case study to evaluate how effective formula-funding has been in encouraging autonomous universities to work towards the attainment of public policy objectives. The analysis shows that four mechanisms have been used in Canada--formula funding, designated extraformula grants, incentive funding, and controls. (Author/MLW)
