Not only does the 2020-2025 Strategic Mandate Agreement (SMA3) governing Ontario Universities’ provincial funding have performance-based metrics, with two metrics nominated by each university, the metrics are also weighted by each university.
Weights across the 10 metrics are to be between 5% and 25% in 2022-23, weights can be up to 35% in 2020-21 and 2021-21 as the number of activated metrics increases over the first two years, but because of COVID-19 funding will not be attached to the performance metrics of SMA3 until 2022-23. More details in this response to their initial posting.
