Item Open Access Shifting Roles and Approaches: Government Coordination of Postsecondary Education in Canada from 1995 to 2006(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, 2007) Shanahan, TheresaThis paper analyses changing approaches to system-level governance in Canadian post-secondary education from 1995-2006. A review of major policy initiatives reveals a shift in provincial and federal government roles in and approaches to the coordination of post-secondary education. The federal government has strategically invested in post-secondary education, increasing its direct and indirect support for research and development and, at the same time, retreating from other areas of support. Provincial governments have expanded post-secondary systems and increased institutional diversity and the role of the market in post-secondary education while simultaneously developing more mechanisms of coordination.Item Open Access Traditional Governance Structures - Current Policy Pressures: The Academic Senate and Canadian Universities.(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, United Kingdom., 2002) Goyan, P.; Shanahan, Theresa; Jones, G.A.The objective of this paper is to identify current policy pressures in Canadian higher education and explore their implications for academic decision‐making bodies based on data we obtained in our national study on university senates. We describe two inter‐related sets of public policy pressures that have emerged in recent years in Canada including on‐going financial restraint and a renewed interest in university research. We conclude by reviewing a number of important implications for Canadian university governance in the context of contemporary policy pressures.Item Open Access University Governance in Canadian Higher Education(Routledge Taylor & Francis Group, United Kingdom., 2001) Jones, G.A.; Shanahan, Theresa; Goyan, P.In this paper we review the major historical developments in the evolution of Canadian university governance arrangements and synthesise data from two important national studies in order to provide an overview of university governance in Canadian higher education.
