Ontario Bill 33 undermines university autonomy and access to education, critics say

June 3, 2025
Student and faculty groups are criticizing an Ontario bill that would force universities to make admission decisions on the basis of what the government defines as “merit,” arguing such overreach would undermine the autonomy of postsecondary institutions. The Ontario Undergraduate Student Alliance (OUSA), which represents more than 150,000 students at nine schools across the province, said the changes proposed by Premier Doug Ford’s government will undermine educational quality and diminish the pathways available to underrepresented groups in the postsecondary system.
