A North American Competitive Alternative Embracing Higher Education/Skills & Training In A New College/University Development
This Article is in reflection of the Link Below
As Stated; Colleges and Universities engage in a constant struggle for resources, faculty, students, and reputation. All feel intense pressure to keep up with each pace-setter institution, whether this involves facilities, amenities, academic programs, or student services. Institutions vary widely across every fault line: endowment size, instructional and financial aid expenditures, students’ college preparedness, among others. Note; they have reached a New Plateau called International Students and now fighting and whining among themselves as in these links below. All looking for the hand out but do they need it considering "Perhaps, the public should be reminded of an article posted in the Globe & Mail 2003? stating "Universities Have become Money Machines" So where does the students come into play? As always following these precious institutions for decades and they still can't seem to get it right, just hold out their hands and expect it to be filled with funding where Jerry McGuire would be proud of them? One can only assume that since 1960 that they were developed for all the right reasons but leaves many questioning? Truly, an Alternative College/University/Development would be a breath of fresh air to students and industry.
Note: All of the whining going on over the continued tuition freeze and International Students where Canadians have been "Benched" and watching the charade outside looking in? "Seriously Canada", all the links below certainly becomes blatantly clear to me that their interest is not for the betterment of Canadians and they haven't been for many years. Where just shows a disgusting portrait of what they really stand for and how a new Alternative College University would be beneficial to Canadians?
The most striking consequence of institutional competitiveness is the failure of colleges and universities to focus on the needs of the ecosystem as a whole. Many of the most severe challenges facing colleges and universities can’t be solved one institution at a time. But throughout a new Unprecedented Non-Traditional approach where Canadians would at least have a choice of opportunities.
While there has been emphasis put on how to scale open learning, to boost career readiness and advancement, there has not been parallel efforts to help the ecosystem as a whole. The time has certainly come for a more direct approach to higher education and the skills training ecosystem. Question; is intelligence given by how much money one has, or is it the opportunities presented that create the intelligence required today?
Lets not kid our selves, direct and meaningful "Competition" is alive and regardless as to how influential the "Jargon" may be applied today. This New Private Industry Based Non-Traditional Vocational Technical College University/Development being presented. Has a North America Initiative that benefits the student and industry alike valuing their bottom line. The real bottom line today is applied to “We The People First” they count the most correct? The "Gap" "Productivity" "Knowledge" "Critical Thought" "Life Long Learning" "College verses University Degrees" and the "Jargon" continues?
However, The financial impact of the Covid? is being felt now by everyone including higher education institutions around the world. As the Covid? truth continues to unfold, the effects are mounting in terms of our economy and let us not forget the ongoing immigration invasion?
Most institutions will be projecting declines in both domestic and international student numbers based upon institutional gouging of costs enrollment, inflation, with combined tuition shortfalls running into the tens of billions of dollars. Example; as stated within ground breaking articles such as Feb.1/2021 Laurentian University a Canadian ground breaking institution Invoked the Companies Creditors Arrangement Act, in other words Chapter 11 or Bankruptcy Protection where all the “I”s and “T”s are crossed within the process for a projected “Domino Effect” that may emerge? Note; Interesting how the term “Invoked” was applied in their favor once again only to become another insult to the Canadian People?
Offering flexibility by implemented online programs which we have all seen and engaged in the past few years, and where the immigration invasion is real, and to allow incoming students to begin studies online, to what extent will this commencement will be is yet to be determined or has acted in their favor of revenue?
What is it all about today, Computers, iPads, Cell Phones, Automation, IT, AI, Cloud, Modular 3D Printers, New Improved Self Driving and EV Cars, Drones, Bitcoin, Climate Change, etc.… Lots of Noise and Confusion.
Disruptive forces are sweeping the educational landscape. Fast-growing universities leveraging modern technology to create (The Illusion) of operational ecosystems designed to build the strong relationships required to grow at scale.

Mike Harris Conservative Leader expressed his concerns in 2002. Stating; Mike Harris - Gives Universities Another Test - Favors Were Granted To Universities And Colleges That Combine Forces By Establishing Joint Degrees - Diplomas that heavily emphasized market competitive skills. The premier is committed to introducing Private Universities to Ontario and anticipating applications for charters, and expecting the first Private Universities to arrived with greater opportunities and competition for our Public Institutions and the competition for students would become fierce. “Well", the fierceness has arrived a little late, but better late than never they say?
