Robinson says renewed investments in university research will create jobs and contribute to the long-term economic and social development of the country.
“The government must also invest in the skills and knowledge of people through increased funding to provinces in support of universities and colleges,” he added.
CAUT is also calling on the government to expand access to post-secondary education by providing more student aid.
Now think about it … expansion of the system? Like we don’t have enough people in university now who can’t handle the work load and the intellectual demands? Yeah, right.
How do our Leftist, alternate reality, universities in Canada contribute to social development? Oh … more abortions? more homosex? more divorce? Yeah …
Like the Captain indicates … the education industry is insatiable, and cannot be trusted to seek the rational and the good. As much as I insist upon academic freedom — I am more concerned about other faculty than I am about administration — it is clear that universities require a much higher degree of public accountability.
Time for a radical rethink. Why keep pouring cascades of money into a system which is already over-inflated, and which has clearly run out of an adequate supply of thinking people to teach in it?
