  • Ontario Reticence in Higher Education Is It Time to Contemplate Major System Reform?
    Reproduced from The Blue and White February 9, 2011 http://www.theblueandwhite.ca/article/2011/02/09/00/00/04/ontario-reticence-in-higher-education/ Ontario Reticence in Higher Education Is it time to contemplate major system reform? Ian D. Clark, David Trick and Richard Van Loon1 Ontario exceptionalism Ontario was once at the leading edge of change in higher education policy. But over the last several decades – as the postsecondary systems in England, Australia, many American states, Germany, Scandinavia and some Canadian provinces have been dramatically overhauled – the basic structure of Ontario’s university and college system has stayed the same. In this essay we look at what other governments have been doing to re-design their postsecondary education systems and then raise some of the pros and cons of undertaking major reform of the Ontario’s higher education system. We build on the findings of recent research sponsored by the Higher Education Quality Council of Ontario and published as Academic Transformation: The Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario.2 In 1964 William G. Davis (BA, U of T, 1951) was anything but reticent about higher education planning. He had been Minister of Education for two years when he was given the additional responsibility of Minister of University Affairs. Mr. Davis and his colleagues in the government of Premier John Robarts led reforms in the primary and secondary school systems and introduced substantial changes to postsecondary education, establishing new universities (Brock, Guelph and Trent) and a whole system of new colleges of applied arts and technology. The design of the system introduced in the 1960s remains almost unchanged today.

  • Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation
    Colleges Ontario Network for Industry Innovation CONII PROJECT CONII is a three-year project funded by the Ontario government. It is a network of ten Ontario Colleges that was formed in November, 2006, to advance the commercialization of applied research in partnership with industry. Seneca is the lead college and the other colleges are Algonquin, Centennial, Conestoga, Fanshawe, George Brown, Humber, Niagara, Sheridan and St. Clair. Each college represents an industry sector node. Centennial and George Brown jointly form the Health and Life Sciences sector node. Commercialization of applied research or technology transfer is gaining increasing support from both federal and provincial governments and private sector funders such as venture capitalists. Recognition is also growing among businesses that would like to market launch their products and services as quickly as possible and achieve profitability. CONII is especially well positioned to partner with industry in joint commercialization projects because the colleges have always responded to industry needs and their research has always aimed for practical outcomes. The potential for innovation is especially strong for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and again, the SME segment is where the colleges are perceived as highly approachable and therefore engage most successfully. OBJECTIVES The short term objectives of CONII are to provide seed funding for Proof of Principle (POP) projects, jointly executed by an SME business and a CONII college. Typically the funding per project would be $10,000 and the duration would be 12 months or less. Each CONII college plans to engage in two POP projects per year. OUTCOMES A concrete deliverable is expected to result from a POP project, which would lead to further development towards a commercially successful deliverable.
