An Alberta online university facing a potential multimillion-dollar cut in a policy fight with the province says it will consider the government’s latest demand but has not committed to complying with it.
Nicolaides wants the university to have more of its staff and its executive members in the town, located 145 kilometres north of Edmonton, to fulfil the mandate of economic diversification that led to the university being relocated there from Edmonton 40 years ago.He has argued that demanding employees work in the town of fewer than 3,000 people does not further the mandate of quality education but in fact detracts from it by making it harder to recruit top-quality candidates.
“ responded to the minister of advanced education’s request in the spring and delivered a draft talent management plan by the June 30 deadline. While we requested a followup meeting with the minister, the university did not receive a meeting or any feedback on the plan from the minister or the ministry,” wrote Scott.
