Reviews
Ontario s universities represent one of the most autonomous differentiated public systems in the world. How we have achieved this status and the important role that the Council of Ontario Universities has played in this development makes fascinating reading in Ed Monahan s history. - Bob Rosehart, currently president of Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, ON, and former president of Lakehead University in Thunder Bay, ON, 1984-1997
Until I read Monahan I had not heard the term MacTwit group'; referring to McMaster, Toronto, Western Ontario, Queen's, and Waterloo, the self-identified research-oriented universities. The term seems more than apt....The...reader can learn much from this book about the nature and course of university-government relations in Ontario.''--Michiel Horn

How we have achieved this status and the important role that the Council of Ontario Universities has played in this development makes fascinating reading in Ed Monahan's history.''--Bob Rosehart Monahan has the ultimate insider's view of these developments [in the purpose of the COU and its relationship to various governments and their mandates over the years]. As president of Laurentian University between 1972 and 1977 he sat on the council, and between 1977 and 1991 he as its executive director. You would never know this by reading his text, which is unleavened by personal anecdotes. That said, this exhaustively researched and well-organized book represents another major accomplishment by a man who has had many over his long career.''--Ashley Thomson Canadian Book Review Annual, 2006 Until I read Monahan I had not heard the term MacTwit group'; referring to McMaster, Toronto, Western Ontario, Queen's, and Waterloo, the self-identified research-oriented universities.
