‘Peter MacKinnon provides thoughtful discussions of problems facing Canadian universities and proposes solutions which (though at times controversial) merit careful attention.’

Michael Hayden, Canadian Journal of History, vol 50:03:2015

“Peter MacKinnon’s book is a major contribution to a much-needed discussion on the current status and future role of public universities and of the public policy required to position them for success. MacKinnon writes from the perspective of a distinguished actor within the system of higher education, and his conclusions are frank and provocative.”

Stephen Toope, President and Vice-Chancellor, University of British Columbia (2006-14)

“This is an impressive book – well written, well organized, and highly readable.”
