Project Summary: Write a research paper on a current issue using theory and concepts from economic geography. Topic: The University of Toronto is changing. International tuition is rising. There is a mental health crisis on campus where students are demanding improved services, program and policy changes, and increased material supports. Instruction is increasingly being carried out by sessional instructors, supervised by a growing amount of administrative staff. The province has clawed back funding and restructured student fees. Today, provincial support accounts for less than a third of the total university budget. To make up for this, the University has expanded enrolment in expensive professional programs and seeks to expand international enrolment. However the austerity does not seem to impact the enormous capital projects on campus, including the new AI centre. In what ways is the University privatized, neoliberalized and financialized?
