| Descripción: | AbstractThere has been substantial discussion, research, and debate about the role of academic freedom within higher education, primarily centered on the university model. Not as well documented or understood is the issue of academic freedom within colleges and institutes in Canada. In this paper, we examine the current state of academic freedom in colleges and institutes using a historical analysis of two Canadian provinces, British Columbia and Ontario. Beginning with an overview of academic freedom within universities, we then examine the development and evolution of colleges and institutes and discuss how or if academic freedom applies to them. We consider issues of collegiality, faculty engagement, and governance as they impact the concept and practice of academic freedom within these institutions. We also discuss the different origins, intents, roles, and governance models of universities in contrast to colleges and institutes, which are generally representative of the broader Canadian higher education landscape.RésuméLe rôle de la liberté universitaire dans l’enseignement supérieur a fait l’objet d’innombrables discussions, recherches et débats, la plupart axés sur le modèle universitaire. Pourtant, cette même notion est encore mal documentée et comprise dans l’enseignement dispensé par les collèges et instituts, surtout au Canada. Cet exposé examine l’état actuel de la liberté universitaire dans ces établissements, à l’aide d’une analyse historique et comparative de deux provinces canadiennes : la Colombie-Britannique et l’Ontario. Il commence par un survol de la liberté universitaire dans les universités, puis examine le développement et l’évolution de celle-ci dans les collèges et instituts et enfin, il se penche sur la façon dont on applique cette liberté, le cas échéant. Cet exposé traite également des questions de collégialité, de la participation des membres du corps professoral et de la gouvernance, selon leur incidence sur le concept et la pratique de la liberté universitaire. En outre, l’exposé discute des différents éléments que sont les origines, intentions, rôles et modèles de gouvernance d’universités, habituellement représentatives du paysage canadien de l’enseignement supérieur dans son ensemble, en les comparant aux collèges et instituts. |
