This study is based on the assumption that university, inter alia, functions as a wealth- creator; as a result, it can effectively influence the distribution of income among groups and individuals. Since the Ontario university system is heavily financed out of general tax revenues, and supplied as a leading form of "public good," considerations of equity require that the system should serve both the principle of equality of opportunity as well as that of equality of results for all groups. An empirical evaluation of the system, based on the class of 1974 full-time male undergraduates, found that the present university education in the province is significantly regressive, tending to create wealth for, and shift income distribution in favour of, the higher income groups.
