UBC president supports idea of northern university — but not the Society’s model | TERRACE — Dr. David Strangway, president of the University of B.C., said in an in- terview last week that he-sup- ports the idea of a university. based in northern B.C. but dislikes the model being pro- posed by the Interior University Society. In’ reviewing the ‘Interior University. concept, ‘Strangway said he thinks it’s unrealistic. Noting the call for 15 branch - Campuses and the immediate _ establishment of graduate pro- grams, Strangway commented, ‘«They’re trying to. build it from the top down.” He would prefer to see the gradual evolution of existing community colleges into degree- granting schools. The B.C. cal- lege system is comparable to the junior college system in the U.S., he said, because courses taken on local campuses can be applied toward university credits - and transfers, ‘The people who designed it were very wise,” Strangway said, and noted that in Ontario, for example, com- munity college courses do not qualify for university credits. UBC has successfully. sup- ported community colleges in _ other areas of B.C, in their ef- forts to deliver degree programs, he said, and the same process could take place in the north. _ The system he outlined involves UBC endorsing the course con- tent for a finite period of time (“not branch campuses,’’ he noted), after which the schools are expected to become free- . standing. wn ee “Terrace Review — Wednesday, June 28, 1989 5 DR. DAVID STRANGWAY: With flexibility, you will have the . abllity to risa to the challenges you are going to face. - Grads advised to seek flexibility The 200-plus members of the 1989 Caledonia Senior Secon- ‘dary School graduating class were warned against career- oriented goals in higher educa- tion by the president of B.C.’s largest university last week. Dr. David Strangway, presi- dent of UBC, spoke to the grads at the Caledonia commencement _ ceremonies Friday evening in the R.E.M. Lee Theatre. At a recep- tion prior to the event he had alluded to the theme of flexibili- ty in education by using his own career as an example: “My brother (Terrace surgeon Dr. D:W. Strangway) ; is---still--a- medical doctor, but I seem to be . doing something different every two or three years,’’ he said and joked, ‘‘I can’t hold on to a job. I certainly never studied to be a university president.’’ What he did study to be was a . geophysicist, and Strangway - eventually became involved in the U.S. space program. He told ‘the Caledonia group that he university, and he hasn’t noted many problems with students from remote areas adapting to urban life. In the residential set- _ting on campus, he said, social groups formed among students ‘*They’re building it from the top down,’’ — Dr. David Strangway. ‘With regard to the “modular ‘learning’? concept, which in- volves intensive study of one subject at a time, Strangway commented, ‘‘Many things can ibe done, although some say it’s best to take a diversity of courses simultaneously.” Strangway also questioned the attractiveness of a Prince George-based university for peo- ple in the northwest. ‘‘In terms of cost, why would anyone choose Prince George over Van- couver?’’ he asked. The Ministry of Advanced Educa- tion will fund the university development program for com- munity colleges located in areas that have a population of 70,000 within an hour’s drive, and Prince George meets that qualification. ‘But they’re waiting to see what Prince George warits to do,’ hie said. Under the current system, Strangway said, UBC.is finding students from the north academically well-prepared for help that adaptation, ‘‘It’s dif- ferent for different people,’’ he added. . He admitted, however, that the university probably isn’t do- ing as much as it ‘could to prepare its graduates for work- ing in remote areas. The change in lifestyle from an urban cam- pus setting to sparsely populated and sedate communities can be disorienting for some people, -and.as a consequence areas like the northwest suffer from chronic shortages and high turn- over in professional fields. Strangway said ‘‘clinical placements’’, a type of intern- ship in rural areas that would be part of course content, might be a solution. ‘‘I would like to see a " partnership in that, but financial support would be needed to ac- complish it,’’ he said. Strangway noted, however, ‘Some of: the students who come from those areas aren’t really that eager to go back,’’ graduated from university 33 years ago, and since that time revolutionary developments, from the theory of continental drift to the gathering of rock samples off the surface of the moon, have taken place, Two years ago, he said, there was a -prolonged debate on the UBC campus over the acquisition of a Fax machine; now, a relatively short time later, Fax messages are routinely sent between - departments. “The base you get from high school, your teachers and the education system is the one you must build on,’’ he said. ““With flexibility, you. will have the ability to rise to the challenges you're going to face.” Students are often under “pressure from counsellors to take a strongly career-oriented slant when choosing their’ post- secondary education, but Strangway warned them that the world is changing rapidly and they have to be prepared for that. ‘‘There will be scientific and social revolutions none of us. can predict. I don’t know what revolutions there will be in the next 30 years, but you will be. part of them and have to deal with the consequences,’ he said, Strangway concluded by reminding them that there are some constants, however: ‘‘We must remember our values, maintain our dreams, and be compassionate,” .
