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,[1][2][3] but equally hosts columnists that skew right-of-centre.[4][5] 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.
At the height of debate on coeducation in 1880, The Varsity published an article in its inaugural issue voicing in favour of admitting women.[6]
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.[7] 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.[8][9]
After Prime MinisterPierre 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.[10]
In 2017, The Varsity began publishing a Chinese-language edition of the newspaper on their website.[11]
