The Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano dismissed the report, which was done by David Trick and asserted the negatives of partnerships between public colleges and private career schools

The Minister of Colleges and Universities Ross Romano, seen here at left, dismissed the report, which was done by David Trick, as the work of 'a political friend' of the previous Liberal government.As it moves to expand partnerships between public colleges and private career schools, the Ontario government is taking aim at the author of a 2017 report that warned the arrangements pose a threat to the college system.

The private education providers are acceptable to international students in part because of their proximity to Toronto. The attraction is that once they complete their program students receive an Ontario college diploma, which makes them eligible for a graduate work permit in Canada , an important step on the path to becoming a permanent resident.

Potential risks identified in the report include the possibility that the partnerships may result in an inferior educational experience, since students are far from the oversight of college administrators and may be reluctant to complain. The private partners may provide lower levels of service compared to a college campus, there may be accessibility issues for those with disabilities, or substandard building facilities, Mr. Trick wrote.Mr.

"This new policy enables postsecondary institutions to be financially competitive so that they can invest that economic benefit back at their main campuses,” said Mr. Romano said in a statement Monday. Mr. Trick’s report said the six colleges with private partners, Cambrian, Canadore, Northern, Lambton, St. Clair and St. Lawrence, expected enrolment of nearly 8,500 at their partner schools in 2016-17, with net revenue of more than $30-million. For the colleges with the larger programs, that represents between 9 and 13 per cent of their operating revenue, Mr. Trick’s report states.
