Abstract

This survey study, uniquely employing Jahoda's Latent Deprivation Model, investigated faculty attitudes and challenges due to the federal government's decision regarding international student caps in Public-Private Partnerships (PPPs). The study used a structured questionnaire to investigate faculty perceptions of financial, professional, and personal impacts. The study aimed to capture faculty perceptions of international caps and the potential for job losses in higher education. The survey was restricted to faculty members affiliated with higher education institutions, particularly PPPs. Based on statistical correlations and data analysis from 165 participants, the author provided comprehensive findings and recommendations for understanding the issue from faculty members' viewpoints. The author suggested ways to support faculty and ensure academic excellence in higher education as part of the recommendations. In terms of demographics, 96 percent of the respondents were minorities, and 78.4 percent strongly agreed that the decision adversely impacted their financial and emotional well-being. Data analysis revealed a strong correlation between psychological health and faculty career impact. The study recommended revisiting the situation in a fresh light and considering other stakeholders who are often overlooked to avoid future economic and social hardships. According to the author, faculty in higher education should receive support and guidance as well as incentives and compensation, such as a waiver of the Ontario Teaching Certificate.
