✦ Synopsis

This paper addresses the consequences of the 1980-1983 economic recession in Canada for the political climate in British Columbia and for the University of British Columbia. After prolonged recession, the Social Credit Party gained power on a platform that government be significantly "downsized." The University of British Columbia, after years of accommodating budgetary shortfalls, was asked for a further ten percent reduction between 1984-1986. The University's response to these cuts is placed in an appropriate provincial and national context, and the implications of marked reductions in public support for higher education are discussed.
