University Governance in Canada by Julia Eastman,Glen A. Jones,Claude Trottier,Olivier Bégin-Caouette Pdf
Universities play essential roles in Canadian society. The internal and external governance of these complex institutions faces ever-evolving challenges within a rapidly shifting international context. Written by a national team of scholars, University Governance in Canada asks how institutional decisions are made and who is behind these choices. By exploring the historical evolution and regional contexts of Canadian universities, as well as current trends, the book gives readers deep insight into how these institutions are governed. The authors explore the tensions between academic governance, external and internal stakeholder expectations, and societal demands as they relate to higher education and research in Canada. Comprising a case study of six major universities, the book examines the dynamics of governance at the institutional, provincial, federal, and international levels and reveals how Canadian universities make decisions and how well they are equipped to meet current and future opportunities and challenges. Canadians invest a lot of money, time, hope, and expectations in their universities. University Governance in Canada gives policy-makers, scholars, governors, leaders at all levels, faculty, staff, students, and citizens at large knowledge and tools that will help ensure the country’s universities excel in their missions and deliver fully on these investments.

More Than an Academic Question by David M. Cameron Pdf
This document discusses Canada's universities and the public policies that have shaped and supported them. It focuses on universities and governments, and the delicate balance that marks their interdependence. It is concerned with Canadian federalism and the formulation of policy in and among 10 provincial governments as well as across the division of provincial and federal jurisdiction. It also identifies patterns both of divergence and convergence, of cooperation and conflict that attend public policy in a federal and intergovernmental context. Finally, it addresses the government and management of universities themselves.
A New World of Knowledge by International Development Research Centre (Canada) Pdf
In communications, health care, and economics, events, discoveries, and decisions that originate beyond national borders today routinely influence national policies and practices. But how are our system of education, and particularly our universities, affected by globalization? A New World of Knowledge examines how globalization has obliged universities in Canada to reassess and rethink the international dimension of their mission and practice. All now include an international dimension in their mission statement. Is this a true statement of educational principles? Or is it simply a marketing message intended to position the university to cope with budget reductions through the sale of educational services? A New World of Knowledge looks at the important role that Canadian universities have played in shaping Canada's response to the problems of international development. It provides the historical backdrop and level of analysis needed to properly inform choices for the future of higher education in Canada and abroad. The book will interest teachers and administrators in institutions of higher education, especially in international affairs and educational studies; practitioners in organizations that depend on university linkages (such as in NGOs and research-granting organizations); government officials in the education sector; and students looking for an international education.

Federal-provincial Relations and Support for Universities by Council of Ontario Universities Pdf
This policy paper argues that maintaining the universities' role--that of creating and transmitting knowledge over a broad spectrum of disciplines and professions--and supporting the institutional infrastructure, will require a new definition of the Canadian government responsibility in financing universities. Sources of university funding in Ontario for 1979-80 are analyzed. A disquieting trend toward earmarking funds, which reduces flexibility and could affect quality in core activities, is noted. It is recommended that the federal government and the Council of Ministers of Education join to form a Canadian Advisory Council for Higher Education and Research with statutory responsibilities for specific policies and programs. It is also proposed that direct federal funding be confined to four categories: limited engagement in manpower planning, student assistance, research, and some specific federal concerns related to defense, international affairs, culture, and language. The government contention that special funding for externally proposed university programs would improve advanced manpower training is rejected. Special alternatives for federal assumption of student assistance responsibilities are suggested, and proposals are made for assistance in core and supplementary research. Four reports are appended: "Where Do Canadian Universities Stand in Public Priorities," a committee discussion paper; sources of university revenue, 1979-80 (data tables); the Association of Universities and Colleges of Canada response to a government report on manpower development; and a critique of another government report on employment opportunities.

Governance and Public Policy in Canada by Michael M. Atkinson,Gregory P. Marchildon,Peter W. B. Phillips,Kenneth A. Rasmussen,Daniel Béland,Kathleen McNutt Pdf
Governance and Public Policy in Canada lays the foundation for a systematic analysis of policy developments, shaped as they are by multiple players, institutional tensions, and governance legacies. Arguing that provinces are now the most central site of governance and policy innovation, the book assesses the role of the provinces and places the provincial state in its broader economic, institutional, social, and territorial context. The aim throughout is to highlight the crucial role of provinces in policy changes that directly affect the lives of citizens. Three key themes unify this book. First, it addresses the role of policy convergence and divergence among provinces. Although the analysis acknowledges enduring differences in political culture and institutions, it also points to patterns of policy diffusion and convergence in specific areas in a number of provinces. Second, the book explores the push and pull between centralization and decentralization in Canada as it affects intergovernmental relations. Third, it underscores that although the provinces play a greater role in policy development than ever before, they now face a growing tension between their expanding policy ambitions and their capacity to develop, fund, implement, manage, and evaluate policy programs. Governance and Public Policy in Canada describes how the provincial state has adapted in the context of these changing circumstances to transcend its limited capacity while engaging with a growing number of civil society actors, policy networks, and intergovernmental bodies.

The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada by Donald Fisher,Kjell Rubenson,Claude Trottier,Theresa Shanahan Pdf
Significant public investment and increased access to higher education lead to economic development - governments across the political and ideological spectrum believe this and have designed and implemented policy based on this understanding. The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada examines how these policies affect the structure and performance of postsecondary education. This comprehensive study compares the evolution and outcomes of higher education policy in British Columbia, Ontario, and Quebec over the past three decades. The authors begin with an understanding that in order to explain the role of postsecondary education in society, they must locate systemic change. Drawing on documentary analysis and interviews, the focus is on how policy priorities are reflected in "system" behaviours: performance, funding arrangements, design, and structural components. Current theories about the liberal-democratic state, academic capitalism, and marketization inform discussions of the changing role of higher education in a globalized knowledge society. The book presents policy and education as a multidimensional exchange between the postsecondary community, policy makers, and the behaviour and performance of educational systems and concludes that higher education is a key actor in the restructuring of the state. The Development of Postsecondary Education Systems in Canada shows how higher education policy has been driven by a changing political and economic imperative and examines the contradictions and unintended consequences of education policy.

The Handbook of Canadian Higher Education by Theresa Shanahan,Michelle Nilson,Li Jeen Broshko Pdf
In The Handbook of Canadian Higher Education Law, experts examine key legal issues in postsecondary education. Establishing the current governance arrangements for Canadian postsecondary education within a historical context, the editors provide a detailed look at the legislative framework of postsecondary education and the role of the federal and provincial governments in organizing, regulating, and funding these institutions. Individual chapters analyze and expound on legal issues associated with institutional governance and management, identifying laws that define the rights and freedoms of faculty and students, and the obligations of the institutions towards them. Contributors engage with a wide range of issues associated with community activities - such as research ventures, knowledge mobilization, commercial activities, partnerships with industry, and land development projects that are hosted by postsecondary institutions. Presenting a wide range of documentary analysis and study of case law, legislation, regulation, and policy, this essential contribution to public policy determines current and emerging legal issues facing the academy.
