L’histoire de la création du Bureau de la traduction n’est plus à faire (Delisle, 2016), et de nombreux chercheurs se sont déjà penchés sur la structuration et l’uniformisation de l’enseignement de la traduction au Canada (dont Mareschal, 2005).

  • FROM PUBLIC U to PRIVATE U: an Atlantic Canadian Opportunity
    FROM PUBLIC U TO PRIVATE U: An Atlantic Canadian Opportunity KELVIN K. OGILVIE September 2005 Atlantic Institute for Market Studies The Atlantic Institute for Market Studies (AIMS) is an independent, non-partisan, social and economic policy think tank based in Halifax. The Institute was founded by a group of Atlantic Canadians to broaden the debate about the realistic options available to build our economy. AIMS was incorporated as a non-profit corporation under Part II of the Canada Corporations Act and was granted charitable registration by Revenue Canada as of October 3, 1994; it recently received US charitable recognition under 501(c)(3) effective the same date. The Institute’s chief objectives include: a) initiating and conducting research identifying current and emerging economic and public policy issues facing Atlantic Canadians and Canadians more generally, including research into the economic and social characteristics and potentials of Atlantic Canada and its four constituent provinces; b) investigating and analyzing the full range of options for public and private sector responses to the issues identified and acting as a catalyst for informed debate on those options, with a particular focus on strategies for overcoming Atlantic Canada’s economic challenges in terms of regional disparities; c) communicating the conclusions of its research to a regional and national audience in a clear, non-partisan way; and d) sponsoring or organizing conferences, meetings, seminars, lectures. training programs, and publications, using all media of communication (including, without restriction, the electronic media) for the purpose of achieving these objectives.

  • Irreconcilable Differences: the Corporatization of Canadian Universities
    Irreconcilable Differences: The Corporatization of Canadian Universities by Jamie Brownlee A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology (Specialization in Political Economy) Carleton University Ottawa, Ontario © 2014, Jamie Brownlee Abstract To date, there has yet to be a comprehensive national study of university corporatization in Canada. This study addresses this gap by reviewing the empirical basis, history, root causes and evolution of the transformation of higher education in Canada that has taken place over the past four decades. In this research, “corporatization” is used to refer to the process and resulting outcomes of the ascendance of business interests, values and models in the university system. Throughout the study, my two primary questions of interest are: (i) how has the corporatization of Canadian universities taken shape?; and (ii) what are the consequences of this restructuring both for higher education and society at large? The study begins with a brief historical review of the relationship between education and various sources of power, as well as some of the competing perspectives that have been used to explain university restructuring. I then review the main manifestations of the corporatization process, beginning with a detailed analysis of the casualization of academic labour. Drawing on a new and unique dataset collected through access to information requests, I provide a detailed account of the rise in the number of part-time and full-time contractually limited appointments in a number of Ontario institutions and discuss some of the impacts of this change.

  • Post-Baccalaureate Programs
    Made In B.C. – Volume VII A History of Postsecondary Education in British Columbia Post-Baccalaureate Programs Bob Cowin Douglas College March 2013 Preface Enrolment may be small compared to other educational sectors in British Columbia, but a disproportionate share of opinion makers and society’s change agents have participated in the programs described in this paper. These programs represent a growing aspect of postsecondary education, one that has received a fair amount of attention in government and institutions. Yet despite all this, and my own sense that post-baccalaureate programs matter a great deal, I hesitated to tackle the topic of post-baccalaureate programming. I feared that my source material might be fine grained and dispersed – no simple synthesis and summary here. My fears turned out to have some basis: however much postsecondary educators might ponder and discuss trends in their work environment, publicly accessible articles about credential creep, the long term impact of competing for research funding, or the implications of scrambling for academic prestige in BC are scarce. Once again, this volume is simply another starting point, an extended briefing note that seeks to be broad rather than deep. Its goal is consolidate information so that well contextualized decisions might be made about the future of postsecondary education in BC. Part of her argument is that the reason cultures die, or enter a dark age, is that they begin to lose the memory of their story…. This is especially so in our increasingly pluralistic neighbourhoods [postsecondary institutions] characterized by multiple and often competing stories about the nature and meaning of life [education].

    AGENDA ITEM NO: 10.1 UNIVERSITY COUNCIL ACADEMIC PROGRAMS COMMITTEE REQUEST FOR DECISION PRESENTED BY: Len Proctor, Chair, Academic Programs Committee of Council DATE OF MEETING: January 26, 2012 SUBJECT: College of Graduate Studies and Research: revision to admission requirements for the Master of Business Administration. DECISION REQUESTED: It is recommended: That Council approve revision to the College of Graduate Studies and Research admission requirements for the Master of Business Administration program, effective September 2012 PURPOSE: Under the University of Saskatchewan Act 1995, decisions regarding admission qualifications and enrolment quotas for university programs are to be approved by Council and confirmed by Senate. This motion will be presented to the Spring, 2012 meeting of University Senate for confirmation. SUMMARY: This proposal recommends the removal of four admission requirements from the admission requirements for the Master of Business Administration (MBA) program: Introductory financial accounting; Introductory statistics; Introductory microeconomics; and Introductory macroeconomics.. Few of their competitor programs have similar requirements for admission and there are MBA courses which would provide MBA students with the necessary knowledge and training in these areas. Program director Noreen Gregor and CGSR associate dean Trever Crowe discussed this change with the Academic Programs Committee at its Dec. 12 meeting. The Committee agreed that approval of this change should be recommended to Council. ATTACHMENTS: Admission requirements chart Report from CGSR regarding the admission qualification change request. Master of Business Administration Change requested: Admission Requirements The Edwards MBA assesses applicants on a composite basis for admission purposes. We look [same] at a variety of factors when making admission decisions including undergraduate degree, grade point average, work experience, GMAT score, and reference letters.

  • Report of the Pan-Canadian Committee on Quality Assurance of Degree Programming: Quality Assurance of E-Learning and Private Institutions September 2006 Dr
    Report of the Pan-Canadian Committee on Quality Assurance of Degree Programming: Quality Assurance of E-Learning and Private Institutions September 2006 Dr. Virginia Hatchette INTRODUCTION At its meeting of November 30, 2005, members of the Committee of Postsecondary ADMs discussed the draft Ministerial Statement on Quality Assurance of Degree Education in Canada that was proposed by the CMEC Quality Assurance Working Group. It was agreed that the Quality Assurance Working Group would, on the assumption that the ministerial statement will be endorsed by all jurisdictions, continue to meet and prepare for its implementation. Members also suggested that issues such as e-learning, private institutions, and the importance of colleges as degree-granting institutions in the territories be discussed by the Quality Assurance Working Group. This paper is a report of the working group’s discussions of the legal and quality assurance issues associated with private institutions and the delivery of programs via e-learning. Where pertinent, issues involving degree-granting in Northern Canada (Yukon, Northwest Territories, Nunavut), are highlighted. PRIVATE INSTITUTIONS According to most sources, private higher education is the fastest-growing segment of postsecondary education worldwide. New private institutions are rapidly expanding, especially in developing countries. In East Asia, specifically Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and Taiwan, the private sector dominates higher education, enrolling 80 per cent of the student population. The U.S. has a long history of private universities, enrolling approximately 30 per cent of the student population, and some are included among the most prestigious institutions. In much of Europe, postsecondary education was almost exclusively public until the 1990s, with a limited private sector mainly composed of religious institutions providing theological education.

  • ONLINE LEARNING in CANADA: at a TIPPING POINT a Cross-Country
    ONLINE LEARNING IN CANADA: AT A TIPPING POINT A Cross-country Check-up 2012 June 2012 www.contactnorth.ca | www.contactnord.ca ONLINE LEARNING THRIVING In this overview, we outline the developments across Canada, starting on AcROSS CANADA the West Coast (British Columbia), moving across the prairies (Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba), into Ontario and Québec and then on to the Atlantic provinces (New Brunswick, Newfoundland and Labrador, Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island) and ending in the northern territories (Yukon, Northwest and Nunavut). What we can say is that online learning is thriving across the country at the post-secondary level and that new investments are being made to support its continued growth and development, particularly in Ontario and in British Columbia. We can also observe that there is a renewed interest in focused investment aimed at increasing the quality, reach and success rates for online learning. SETTING THE CONTEXT Before looking at the state of online learning in Canada, it is necessary to set the context. In particular to understand the following: • The demography of Canada and the profile of the community engaged in learning; • The socio-economic environment and its links to demand for learning; • The post-secondary infrastructure and the role of the private sector; and • The challenges faced by the system in responding to need. Canada is a diverse country with a strong Aboriginal community and a range of diverse cultural groups. For example, in a single region in Alberta (Wood Buffalo), there are one hundred and sixty-nine cultural groups and fifty-seven languages are spoken as first languages, with English or French (Canada’s two official languages) being second or third languages for over two-thirds of this community.
