The provincial government of Manitoba has announced plans to push forward a "Post-
Secondary Accountability Framework" that includes a performance-based funding (PBF) model

for post-secondary institutions (colleges and universities). Proponents of PBF for colleges and
universities argue that PBF is a way for governments to set priorities--and accountability--for
how colleges and universities spend public funds. Opponents, meanwhile, argue that PBF
increases graduation rates not by improving educational practices but by pushing colleges and
universities to become more selective in whom they admit to study in their programs in the
first place. For this essay topic, you will use well-selected, peer-reviewed sources to develop
and articulate an argument either for or against the use of performance-based funding for
colleges and universities.
