About

As the public voice of Ontario’s Universities, we are demonstrating their commitment to working alongside Ontarians to build a prosperous, sustainable and inclusive future for the province and all who live here.

We promote the value of Ontario’s universities and believe in the important role that universities play in preparing students for success in life and careers, in transforming communities, in growing the economy and business, and in carrying out ground-breaking research that improves the way we live, work and play.

About the Council of Ontario Universities (Corporate website):

The Council of Ontario Universities (COU) is the forum for Ontario’s universities to collaborate and advocate in support of their shared mission to the benefit and prosperity of students, communities and the province of Ontario.

COU works closely with member universities to find consensus on a wide range of university issues and advance them with government and other stakeholders.
