General Background Materials

The literature on planning for the future in Higher Education is vast and disparate. We have chosen here a number of documents which focus either on a broad overview or a specific facet of the issue. Councillors are encouraged to begin by reading the three Trends in Higher Education documents from the AUCC and to focus their subsequent reading on areas of interest to them. Vice-Principals will be suggesting specific readings for members of their groups.
