The primary objective is to embrace the commitment to creating “one university family.” The Academic Plan – part of the roadmap to achieving our Eyes High goals – highlights the need to work together to create a shared future and unified environment on campus.

Alberta universities in general, are feeling the pinch:
“You may not major in that topic but it’s always good to have the option to take a class in it to mature your own experience,” said Raphael Jacob, president of the Students’ Union and an arts major. “I think that’s really where we’re going to see all students, not just those at U of C, be affected by these cuts, is with the quality of your education.”
...
Jacob, meanwhile, said he firmly believes his school is a better financial position than other schools like the University of Alberta, which announced this week it’s cutting 20 arts programs and 300 student science positions, and Mount Royal University, which suspended eight programs in the spring and will reduce enrolment in nursing, education, media studies and other areas.
