The paper publishes weekly on all campuses during the fall and winter semesters and online throughout the year, along with two seasonal magazines. Originally a broadsheet daily, it now issues in compact form. The paper's primary focus is on campus affairs and local news. The Varsity usually assumes a left-wing stance on political affairs. The paper is published by Varsity Publications, a not-for-profit corporation, and is primarily financed by advertisement revenues with subsidies from a student levy. HistoryAt the height of debate on coeducation in 1880, The Varsity published an article in its inaugural issue voicing in favour of admitting women.[1] In 1895, the suspension of The Varsity's editor, James Tucker, led Latin Professor Dale to publicly attack the administration in The Globe, which in turn led to his own dismissal.[2] University College students then approved a motion by Varsity staff member William Lyon Mackenzie King and boycotted lectures for a week. This is significant for William Lyon Mackenzie King's involvement as a member of the Varsity editorial staff and student leader. He would later become Canada's longest serving Prime Minister.[3][4] After Prime Minister Pierre Trudeau decriminalized homosexuality in 1969, a medical research assistant placed an advertisement in The Varsity seeking volunteers to establish the first university homophile association in Canada.[5] In 2017, The Varsity began publishing a Chinese-language edition of the newspaper on their website.[6] Notable past staff
