[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Still nobody answers the money issue, UT's endowment per capita is clearly out of T50 in U.S, plus tuition is so cheap. How do you do solid research, hire best faculties and build best facilities, labs?[/quote]
I assume no one's answering because no one here knows how exactly the funding model for Canadian universities, from a combination of federal and provincial sources, resembles the funding model for US public universities. U of T does have by far the largest endowment among Canadian universities. And a huge percentage of the students at any Canadian university don't live on campus, making a per-student formula misleading in the context of a US-Canada comparison.

Your question is also weirdly presumptuous.  U of T was recently ranked 4th in the world -- behind only Harvard, Stanford, and UCL -- for research impact (https://nturanking.csti.tw/ranking/OverallRanking/), yet you presume that this result must be impossible, given their small per-student endowment. Maybe use the observed result to correct your presumption?[/quote]
