Doucet, Ph.D. March 2004 Vol. 5, No. 1 Ontario Universities, the Double Cohort, and the Maclean’s Rankings: The Legacy of the Harris/Eves Years, 1995-2003 Executive Summary The legacy of the Harris/Eves governments from 1995-2003 was to leave Ontario’s system of public universities tenth and last in Canada on many critical measures of quality, opportunity and accessibility. If comparisons are extended to American public universities, Ontario looks even worse. The impact of this legacy has been reflected in the Maclean’s magazine rankings of Canadian universities, which have shown Ontario universities, with a few notable exceptions, dropping in relation to their peers in the rest of the country. Elected in 1995 on a platform based on provincial income tax cuts of 30 per cent and a reduction in the role of government, the Progressive Conservative government of Premier Mike Harris set out quickly to alter the structure of both government and government services. Most government departments were ordered to produce smaller budgets, and the Ministry of Education and Training was no exception. Universities were among the hardest hit of Ontario’s transfer-payment agencies, with budgets cut by $329.1 million between 1995 and 1998, for a cumulative impact of $2.3 billion by 2003.

VODAREK Dr. Fred Fletcher The Major Research Project and Paper is submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts Joint Graduate Programme in Communication & Culture Ryerson University - York University Toronto, Ontario, Canada th August 25 , 2008 1 Introduction This paper is the formal vvritten component for the research project of Lindsey Ann Vodarek, to fulfill the requirements of the Master of Arts in Communication and Culture Joint Program at Ryerson and York Universities. The project, entitled Filtering the Headlines, is a short documentary film on the concept/construction of objectivity as it has been applied in journalism in Canada supported by a political economy of the same. The purpose of this work is to connect the theoretical work being done on this subject to the actual practices and discussion going on amongst journalists today. It questions the knowledge ofjournalists about issues of objectivity and asks how these journalists reconcile their ethical ideals with actual practices. It then questions the hegemony of media as business, as corporate entity, the use of advertising to support this model and the practices ofjournalists that reinforce it. It aims to foster a dialogue that will promote a greater sense of agency within the profession ofjournalism by challenging and bringing to light ingrained beliefs. Changes to journalistic practices must come from within. The literature on this subject reflects the tensions that exist between these structural factors that influence journalists and their work, and the agency that they have within it.
