For Lifelong Learning, Time to Go Big

By Alex Usher. I have been thinking a lot lately about the need for greater adaptation to lifelong learning.  I am, as you all know, generally pretty skeptical of any “Fourth-Industrial-Revolution-sky-is-falling-right-this-instant” rationales for institutional change, but that’s not a reason not to think about big change.

Budget 2018

By Alex Usher. So, last night was interesting, what with the Budget, the response to the Naylor report and the criminal scheduling of all this on the same evening as Toronto FC’s home-opener (yes, I am still bitter). More...

Robot-Proof

By Alex Usher. If you’re looking for a book that is not too heavy, analyzes how changing technologies impacts skills, and does a great job of sketching out some possible attractive responses from higher education institutions: have I got a book for you.  It’s called Robot-Proof: Higher Education in the Age of Artificial Intelligence by Joseph Aoun.

The End of Internationalization?

Ten Bad Arguments about Free Tuition in Canada

By Alex Usher. So this weekend at the NDP convention, delegates voted in favour of a free tuition policy.  Based on a totally unscientific scan of twitter afterwards, here are the ten most common arguments in favour of this move, and why each of them is wrong. More...

Two Final Arguments about Free Fees

By Alex Usher. Yesterday when talking about the bad arguments for universal free fees, I left out two of the more common arguments.  One of them I left out because it’s genuinely a much trickier argument to negotiate (and hence not one of the “ten bad arguments”) and the other because I plain forgot.

Code Red on the Naylor Report

By Alex Usher. About two and a half years ago, I said universities and scientists were headed for a catastrophic break because university Presidents were more inclined to gratefully accept whatever new dollars came their way rather than fight for research priorities.  That break may actually happen next week, for evil things are reaching my ears about Tuesday’s federal budget.
