4 Learning objectives Look at Ontario higher education policy through the lens of the PPG2008 syllabus: – What is the nature of the global and international forces and dynamics impacting domestic public policies and governance? – How are states’ policy structures, systems and processes changing, or how ought they to change, in relation to these international forces and dynamics? Think hard about: – selectivity and elites – higher education, social mobility and the poor – cognitive skills and value added at university – policy uniformity versus policy differentiation – higher education reforms in Ontario in 2012 4

13 S ORTING AND STATUS 13

14 Attributes that make universities attractive... but aren’t necessarily related to learning Sorting: the challenge of being admitted to a university and surviving to graduation performs a sorting function that employers and others use as a convenient signal of innate ability and future potential Credentialing: near-monopoly providers of credentials that are either absolutely required or strongly recommended for entrance into a variety of professions and careers Networking: relationships made during these formative years often last a lifetime, and become the basis of valuable professional and social networks Branding: continued reputation associated with the credential 14

15 Selectivity, elites and two MPP 1972 classmates The most important thing Harvard does to maximize success of graduates – select great students Concepts of quality in higher education – value added – input/selectivity Reputation and rankings to enable selectivity in students and faculty 15 Karen Arenson, MPP 1972 NYT Higher Ed reporter

16 Elite education and the poor “Poor people are an endangered species in elite universities not because the universities put quotas on them … and not even because they can’t afford to go to them (Harvard will lend you or even give you the money you need to go there) but because they can’t get into them. Hence the irrelevance of most of the proposed solutions to the systematic exclusion of poor people from elite universities, which involve ideas like increased financial aid for students who can’t afford the high tuition, support systems for the few poor students who manage to end up there anyway, and, in general, an effort to increase the “cultural capital” of the poor. “The entire U.S. school system, from pre-K up, is structured from the very start to enable the rich to out-compete the poor, which is to say, the race is fixed. And the kinds of solutions that might actually make a difference – financing every school district equally, abolishing private schools, making high-quality child care available to every family – are treated as if they were positively un-American.” 16 “Today, the rich don’t exploit the poor, they just out-compete them.” David Brooks, New York Times, October 6, 2005 Walter Benn Michaels, The American Prospect, August 13, 2006

22 Global forces and international trends Globalization forces government focus on competitiveness (and fiscal sustainability) Universities seen as instruments of state economic development – “knowledge society” – “innovation agenda” – “brain gain” Instrumentalism: “useful” training and “useful” research – privileging STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) Competition for the best faculty and best students Rankings and performance measurement Quality assurance and curriculum standardization – Bologna process in Europe International education as a market opportunity  elite to mass education  emphasis on research  rankings and resources 22

25 C ONCERNS ABOUT QUALITY AND COST EFFECTIVENESS 25

26 Academically adrift? “Growing numbers of students are sent to college at increasingly higher costs, but for a large proportion of them the gains in critical thinking, complex reasoning, and written communication are either exceedingly small or empirically nonexistent. “At least 45 percent of students in our sample did not demonstrate any statistically significant improvement in Collegiate Learning Assessment [CLA] performance during the first two years of college. [Further study has indicated that 36 percent of students did not show any significant improvement over four years.] “While these students may have developed subject-specific skills that were not tested for by the CLA, in terms of general analytical competencies assessed, large numbers of U.S. college students can be accurately described as academically adrift. They might graduate, but they are failing to develop the higher-order cognitive skills that it is widely assumed college students should master.” 24 universities 2,322 students CLA fall 2005, spring 2007, spring 2009 26

27 Whose fault? 1950s 1990s hours per week studying 1950s 1990s hours per week teaching StudentsFaculty George Kuh, 2003 AD (Change, 35, p 28) Students and faculty have struck a Disengagement Pact “I’ll leave you alone if you leave me alone... I won’t make you work too hard (read a lot, write a lot) so that I won’t have to grade as many papers or explain why you are not performing well.” Saint Augustine, 397 AD (The Confessions) “I set about diligently to practice what I came to Rome to do - the teaching of rhetoric. Yet, the Roman students - breakers of faith, who, for the love of money, set a small value on justice - would conspire together and suddenly transfer to another teacher, to evade paying their master’s fees.” 27

28 The coming fiscal crunch Although better positioned than many others, Canadian fiscal environment in next decade will be similar to 1990s Ontario and several other provinces in much worse shape than others Assumption: Average program spending growth will be 1.9% after 2012-13 28

29 Research universities and undergraduate teaching 29

30 Globe and Mail, October 12, 2011 30

31 End of American pre-eminence in higher ed? Fees rising faster than ability to pay – Median household income has grown by a factor of 6.5 in the past 40 years – Cost of attending a state college has increased by a factor of 15 for in-state students and 24 for out-of-state Productivity declining – In 1961 full-time students spent 24 hours a week studying; that has fallen to 14 – In US, only 40% of students graduate in 4 years Professors not particularly interested in students’ welfare – Advancement depends on published research, not teaching Administrative bloat – Spending on university bureaucrats rose much faster than on faculty 31

32 The “enduring myth”...that teaching effectiveness needs research productivity...need to focus on each, but almost independently Conclusion 32

33 Specialization and system productivity 33 Imagine that research productivity follows something like a “70-30 rule” 70 percent of total research done by top three deciles (each successive decile of professors produce 0.68 as much research) Scenario A: All faculty spend same amount of time on research and teaching (40-40-20) Scenario B: The 30 percent most research productive faculty shift 50 percent of teaching time to research (20-60-20) and remaining faculty shift 50 percent of research time to teaching (60-20-20) Suggestive factoid: Vedder et al (2011) estimate that at University of Texas - Austin, the most productive decile earned 91 percent of research dollars and the next decile virtually all the rest in 2010-11 Teaching output assumed equal for all deciles because teaching performance not correlated with research performance 70 percent Scenario B delivers 20 percent more research & 20 percent more teaching than Scenario A

34 International labour market for professors 34 A frequently heard assertion “Universities exist in a global labour market, competing for the best scientists, medical researchers, mathematicians, engineers, economists, IT experts, psychologists or urban planners their budgets can afford. The standard teaching load in many Canadian and nearly all American research universities is two courses per semester. No decent academic, never mind a high-flyer, will take a job here to see his teaching load doubled and research time reduced to 10 per cent. Similarly, marketable faculty now teaching here will exit the province faster than a captain can desert a listing ship.” Michael Herren, Distinguished Research Professor Emeritus, York University, February 11, 2012 Demand trends

35 Challenges of increasing system differentiation University funding forces uniformity – expand undergraduate enrolments – raise the proportion of students who are in graduate and professional programs – pursue competitive research grants Uniformity – Raises costs of serving larger numbers – Reduces flexibility to respond to students with diverse needs International experience is clear: if a differentiated system is desired, deliberate and sustained government action is necessary 35 The Contradictions of Isomorphism (Trends in Global Higher Education: Tracking an Academic Revolution, Altbach et al., UNESCO, 2009, p 19) In the 21st century, the trend toward isomorphism can still be observed and tends to restrict the development of differentiated academic systems. Public authorities need to ensure diverse academic models to serve varied societal needs, while many academic institutions still tend to emulate the research universities at the top of the system. Academic staff often press the university to emphasize research as its key mission, knowing that a research orientation and productivity in this area promise the highest prestige and (often) the best salaries for academics. If the universities remain the sole decision makers, many more academic institutions would seek to improve their status by becoming research intensive. In most cases, this strategy does not serve the interests of academe in general nor is it widely achievable. Often, it takes governmental "steering" to keep the academic system diversified and institutions within the system serving larger national goals...The essential problem of isomorphism involves unbridled competition among academic institutions pursuing the same goals. This trend may undermine efforts to develop a system of institutions that is appropriately differentiated, based on the specific needs of a given system-with different goals and responsibilities, patterns of funding, admissions policies, and other characteristics.

36 WGU Model: competency-based assessment and self-directed learning with course requirements tailored to each student and courses contracted to best providers – Western Governors University (1997) Free, open courseware – MIT OpenCourseWare (2002) – Khan Academy (2006) – The Faculty Project (2012) Free (almost) credential – University of the People (2009) – MITx (2012) Will on-line innovations become disruptive? 36 “not your parents’ online learning, nor your grandparents’ correspondence courses.” Fiona Deller, HEQCO (February, 2012)

38 P OLICY OPTIONS FOR REFORM IN O NTARIO 38

39 Ontario in a national context Features that may be distinctive to Ontario – Two PSE segments: universities (20) and colleges (24) – No formal differentiation within each segment – Each university has its own statute – Provincial government has authority to grant money to universities, but few other statutory controls – An agency to monitor quality and provide research and advice – but no regulatory commission or buffer body – Strong enrolment pressures (high immigration) Features that are common across Canada – Long-term trend to higher access – Federal programs create incentives for research – Academic cultural norms (e.g., protection of autonomy; value research over teaching) 39

40 The need for reform in Ontario Ontario is trying to have a high-access university system using the most expensive model – almost 100% of undergraduates are at “research universities” – the norm for faculty in Ontario universities is to allocate their effort on a 40-40-20 model (teaching-research-service) This model is unsustainable – Increased share of teaching done by part-timers – Larger class sizes – Students from disadvantaged backgrounds less likely to succeed in this environment We need to look at new models of baccalaureate education 40

41 What makes the Ontario model expensive? Teaching loads are necessarily low – Typically 2+2 for full-time faculty Expanding teaching outputs always means expanding research outputs As a condition of expanding undergraduate enrolments, every university expects funding for higher graduate/professional enrolments – Graduate/professional spaces are the most expensive All universities devote resources to seeking competitive research grants – Costs of competition (VP-R offices) – Research overhead is underfunded, resources diverted from teaching High barriers-to-entry prevent the emergence of lower-cost models 41

42 Paradox of stable revenues and financial crunch 42 Ontario universities’ CPI-adjusted annual $ per student has been relatively stable at about $13,000 ($2007) since the 1980s

43 Why? University inflation widely estimated at 4-5% (long-term) – faculty compensation: across-the-board increases, progress through the ranks, market adjustments, benefits – administrative compensation and non-salary costs (e.g., energy) – cost pressures arising from competition: fundraising, research, student recruitment Teaching loads for full-time faculty have declined over the long term – across-the-board, and through special arrangements for research and administrative responsibilities – 4 one-semester courses per year is most common; exceptions up and down 43

44 How students are affected 44 Most students are at a university where more than 30% of first-year classes offered have 100+ students Larger class sizes Part-timers teach more than half the classes in some large faculties More part-time faculty Some universities moving from 13 weeks to 12 (vs. 15 weeks in US) Shorter semesters We don’t directly measure student learning on a system-wide basis (unlike K-12 system) Impact on student learning?

47 Research university model under strain 47

48 Principles of frugal public management Results-oriented measures and objectives – State objectives in ways that make it possible to construct performance measures that can form the basis for appropriate incentives and funding mechanisms Performance-related incentives for individuals and institutions – Think through what behaviour you want from individuals and institutions and create funding and regulatory environments that encourage that behaviour Efficiency-related concentration and specialization – Centralize processes where average cost falls as scale is increased; concentrate where efficiencies are gained through specialization 48

61 The financial case for teaching-oriented universities 61 Teaching-oriented university Traditional university Teaching and related (including academic administration, classroom support, clerical support, curriculum development, distance education) $5,500$9,100 Academic services (including library, student services, recruitment, bursaries, information technology) $2,200 Institutional services (including administration, facilities, capital equipment, renovation, debt interest, and contribution to capital costs) $2,200$3,000* Total$9,800$14,200 Memoranda: Cumulative surplus/debt after seven years$27 m surplus$167 m debt Annual undergraduate enrolments at maturity10,000 Student tuition per year$5,300 Average class size44 Share of teaching performed by full-time faculty70 percent Teaching load of full-time faculty (1-semester courses per year)84 Note: Numbers may not add due to rounding. *Includes debt interest of $600. Operating costs per baccalaureate student, campus with 10,000 students (2011 $)

62 Smaller classes, lower tuition... 62 Teaching-oriented university Traditional university Strategy for reaching a balanced budget Offer small classes and lower tuition Increase class sizes Cumulative surplus/debt after seven yearsnone Annual undergrad enrolments at maturity10,000 Student tuition per year$4,800$5,300 Average class size4478 Share of teaching by full-time faculty70 percent Teaching load of full-time faculty84 Students per semester, per full-time faculty176156 (balanced budget scenarios)

63 An 80-10-10 faculty workload model 63 Weeks Teaching and service Classroom: Teaching, interaction with students, service, etc. 26 Non-classroom: Course preparation, marking exams, attending conferences, maintaining scholarly currency, service, etc. 15 Research5 Vacation4 Statutory holidays 2 52 Plus 6 months sabbatical after 6 years

64 Better teaching quality... Classes will be smaller Curriculum will be designed around learning objectives (not around areas of faculty research interest) Faculty will be focussed on teaching and research on teaching Research linked to teaching – research on teaching improvement – disciplinary research where it includes a direct and integral contribution to the education of undergraduate students Administration will be focussed on undergraduate education – It’s not necessary to be a research powerhouse to be an excellent undergraduate university 64

65 Recruiting great faculty... Campus in the GTA Attractive working conditions – Average faculty salary assumed to be $110,000 (2011$) plus benefits Supply and demand – 5 PhD holders in Ontario for every full-time faculty – 2,100 new PhD graduates and 1,400 PhDs coming to Ontario every year (4.4 times the 800 full-time faculty reaching retirement age) – Labour market for faculty in the US makes Ontario attractive Novelty and opportunity for innovation 65 AUCC membership criteria built into design

66 Recruiting great students... Campus in the GTA Graduate/professional school entrance requirements built into design Attention to teaching, small size and high faculty-student ratio are attractive to students and parents NSSE and CLA results will soon demonstrate the advantages Lower tuition 66

67 Provide better undergraduate research experience These are teaching-oriented, not teaching-only universities and faculty are expected to be scholarly – The 80-10-10 allocation of time to teaching, research and service provides more than one month a year for research – Research focused on teaching and learning can include disciplinary research where it includes a direct and integral contribution to the education of undergraduate students Students in any field of study can benefit from working with professors engaged in research on teaching and learning – benefit of undergraduate research is largely in methods, critical thinking and writing –independent of the subject of research Granting councils could change rules for support of undergraduate research 67

68 How to get started Government should invite proposals for new not-for-profit universities, based to specified criteria – Meeting student demand – High quality education – Graduates well prepared for careers or graduate school – More affordable than status quo Proposals might come from: – Faculty and administrators at existing universities – Not-for-profit universities and colleges from outside Ontario – Colleges that have a strong foundation in general arts and strong academic self-governance – Colleges in partnership with a university 68

69 Is it possible to start a new university? 69 “The majority of young people who found a place in higher education in Ontario in the 1960s and 1970s did so because these leaders – John Robarts, Bill Davis, Ed Stewart, and the university presidents – identified the need and acted without delay. “As we have made clear in this book (with a half-century of hindsight), we do not think these leaders got everything right. “But they had the courage to begin.” Murray Ross at his desk in the field that was to become York University, 1962
