"DON'T LIMIT SCOPE" Proposals for Oshawa's future community college, part of a network of 30 to be established across the province, were criti- cized by Dr. Murray Ross, president of York University, last night. Addressing the Institute of International Auditors in Toron- to, Mr. Ross attacked the edu- cational plans for the institu- tions claiming such colleges should not be limited to voca- tion and technical training or made separate and distinct from the universities. He was refering to proposals made last month by a commit- tee of Ontario University presi- dents who urged the scheme as *lan alternative to university education. The main emphasis in curriculum would be in voca- tional and technical training, along the lines of the Ryerson Polytechnical Institute. Mr. Ross said the colleges should provide both technical and academic training to qual- ify able students to enter uni- versities. "The only question to be de- bated now," he said, "is wheth- er they are to be merely tech- nical institutes or whether they are to be colleges in the tradi- tional and fullest meaning of this title with academic sub- jects central in the curricula.' WARNS OF DANGERS He warned if the views of the university presidents were accepted, 'I think one must dis- card as highly unlikely any significant development of the liberal arts in community col- substantial number of transfers from com- munity colleges to universities." "The liberal arts," he said, 'twill not. develop merely as supporting subjects, which is the role they have been assign- ed by those who wish to limit severely the scope and function of community colleges." Instead, he said, the aca- demic program "should provide either for a terminal point in a student's formal education or City College Concept Attacked By Educator those who demonstrate outstand- ing ability." "Those who would limit the areas of opportunity," he said, "are pressing a view inconsis- tent with our educational and social purposes." "are pressing a view inconsis- tent withour educational and. social purposes." Mr. Ross warned, however, there were problems and dan- gers in providing the advanced advanced educational opportuni- ties for much larger numbers of the province's youth and said those in education should be aware of them. STANDARDS LOWERED One such danger, she _ said, would be a lowering of aca- demic standards. "This may result from the government spreading too thinly scarce financial resources. Why should we begin new colleges when most universities have insufficient funds? If none of- our institutions of higher learn- ing receive adequate financial support, good faculty people will move to other provinces or to the United States, and the qual- ity of teaching and research in* Ontario will decline." Because of this danger, he- said, there are those who would structure the proposed colleges in such a way that they would be the receipients of federal support, but not the serious competitors with universities for provincial grants. "This is surely a short-sighted view," he said. "We are a wealthy society, we can afford to develop our human resources, and we. mersuade the pub- lic and governments to extend- and improve our educational re-" sources." Mr. Ross said he could not support community colleges if the province could not afford them or if they could be pro- vided only by reducing univer- sity grants. However, taking the long view, he said, both com- munity colleges and universi-> ties can be well supported ia. for entry. into university for this affluent society. 7
