Is “Community Learning,” as contemplated in President Axworthy’s recent position paper, a good thing for the University of Winnipeg?  The UWFA Executive is not yet convinced. The Association has responded to concerns the document raises in the domains of academic freedom, faculty workload, and Collective Agreement provisions. We also have commented on the implications for the funding of core academic operations of university fundraising for community activities. Concerns remain about process and about the need for academic review. The UWFA response is too lengthy for inclusion here, but members are urged to read Dr. Axworthy’s paper.

Then read UWFA’s response.
