| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The establishment of a multi-campus university in the Galilee would primarily assist the smaller colleges that have relatively small enrolment numbers, and lack the wherewithal to create a critical mass of staff and resources. The proposal fell victim to power struggles between the Planning and Budgets Committee and other branches of the Council of Higher Education. Or perhaps the concept of a ‘university’ stirred anxiety among Council members, most of whom have vested interests in the universities where they work. The fact is that a good plan that would have contributed to higher education in the north and upgraded the region's academic colleges was tossed off the Council's agenda without its advocates being called for a serious discussion. |
