"My heart is in business consulting on any scale," he says . "It is a joy to work with entrepreneurs who have an idea, and then to see the business actually running." Home for this international student is Marondera, Zimbabwe, south of the capital city Harare. After graduating from an Anglican boarding school, Molai spent a year studying business at the University of Buckingham in London, England, before looking through the calendars of Canadian universities in search of a new experience. He was delighted to receive his first response from Lakehead. "I couldn't have made a better choice," he says. Extra-curricular activities have included being advertising manager for the student newspaper, working as a telemarketer during the Alumni Association's annual fund-raising campaign, and serving as President of the African-Caribbean Students Association. But throughout, his overriding interest has been the Lakehead University Management Consulting Service where students, supervised by faculty, provide marketing management, strategic management, financial management, hardware and software expertise, and training courses to small and medium-sized businesses in Northwestern Ontario. As Senior Manager for the last three years, Molai has watched with pride as more than 50 business students involved with the Se rvice have since found full-time employment. During Molai's third and fourth years at Lakehead, he participated in the Queen's Intercollegiate Business Competition, a race that has come to be known as the "Stanley Cup of business schools."

Part One focussed on the value of a liberal arts education Connie Nelson Dean, Graduate Studies and Research and the difficulties universities have in marketing scholarship. Part Two looks a t the effect of tne university funding crisis on teaching and research. Our thanks go to Qavid Heald (BA'84) who served as moderator and Nancy Adderley (HBA '90) who taped and, edited the panelists' comments. 2 Nor'Wester Laure Paquette Political Science Professor Technology and the Liberal Arts Education Q: What the politicians may want and what the leaders of corporations may want could be drastically different from what society as a whole may need. Can you speak to this conflict between the value of a liberal arts education and the need for technical expertise? Kerrie-Lee Clarke: "I really think that the politicians and civil servants are saying that we have to prepare people for this uncertain future and part of that is having some basic skills, a lot of which are going to come out of a liberal arts education. But we also have to have the technical skills as well. Education is the foundation on which society is built. Society as we know it is built on the information and discoveries that have been made in universities, and unless we can get that message out, I think we're really going to be in trouble ." Connie Nelson: "What makes it so traumatic is that there are a number of issues facing universities at precisely the time that money is tight. The potential of technology to redefine the way we even approach the topic of learning is hitting universities head on. We are just tiptoeing to the door of dealing with this issue . It is not just an issue of delivering what we already know - the technology makes all kinds of new knowledge available to us, and we don't know how we are going to deal with this." Laure Paquette: "The question that we are facing therefore, is what do we teach 1 For those of us in the social sciences, I don't need to tell students what the Canadian Constitution is anymore, they will be able to get that off the Internet instantly. I have to teach them the Internet is a dramatically uneven quality of information. I have to teach them how to judge that. So it's a question of not the content of what we teach, but what skills are we going to teach . And we can't strictly focus on the needs of the private sector, because that is a moving target." Livia Di Matteo: "If this information revolution - this technological change - is really going to change Lhe way we do things, you have to look at what is most easily automated at a universiLy. And l guess what is most easily auLOmated is probably a large portion of the teaching. However, it is still difficult to automate research. The crucial role for a university might become more heavily focussed on research. So if you are looking at what a university is going to evolve into over time, there are two possible models. We could go around teaching skills - how to access the Internet, how to work a spreadsheet. Or we could go around attracting quality faculty, creating a research environment where you generate new knowledge. So, should the university become a destination point on the information highway, sort of a critical mass of scholars doing research and disseminating it, or are we going to just provide the "drivers' ed." courses?" Research and Teaching: In Search of the Best Blend Q: What are the pressures facing universities right now in terms of research? Sher Ali Mirza: "In the professional faculty, the faculty members are tremendously underpaid, especially the younger ones. Coming soon, perhaps we will get salary cuts, and if that happens, we are going to see some of our younger, brighter faculty members taking off for industry. At this point, the faculty is aging and unless you bring in new blood, how is the renewal going to take place? Some of our faculty members are working 60 to 80 hours a week. There comes a point where they have to slow down because age catches up with them . And when that happens, their research is going to slip. Without new people to replace them, quality has to go down. In order for a faculty member to , be energetic and provide up-to-date knowledge, to get a "spark" inside himself or herself, he or she has to do research. He or she has to be at the cutting edge of knowledge ." Connie Nelson: "We have typically viewed ourselves as an undergraduate institution, so we have hired to meet a breadth of needs. But I think there is a growing feeling out there that anybody who has a PhD should, for the most part, be able to teach the basic core concepts of their discipline regardless of what their specialization was . If we changed our thinking, we could hire in a way that would allow us to take these resources and do advanced training at the same time as we provide an undergraduate education. The outcome would be quite exciting." Laure Paquette: "Professors are hired to teach certain courses and to do research into a particular specialty. Traditionally, there has been a link in that you teach in your specialty. What Connie is suggesting is instead of doing that, let's get people who are very good and let's concentrate - get a critical mass of researchers in a particular area, knowing full well that they can teach the spectrum of undergraduate courses. She's proposing this in the broader framework of a very important issue - what is the relationship between teaching and research. This relationship is going to come under heavy fire with all the budget cuts and all the changes that we foresee. " Intellectual Freedom? Q: Will the shift in funding priorities compromise the standing principle of maintaining the administrative and intellectual freedom our institutions need? Randy Nelsen: "The administrative and intellectual freedom, particularly the intellectual freedom, has already been well-compromised before any budget cuts ... In terms of the budget cuts, what is already in pretty bad shape is going to get worse . Increasingly, we are going to have to find ways to raise our own money. So we are going to become more privatized, more like private entrepreneurs. I'm critical of this entrepreneurial system, and this university/big business partnership, because it takes us more into the system and doesn't allow us to stay at arm's length in a way that would allow us to remain critical. Q: Is there any danger in a university becoming too closely associated with corporations, in order to receive funding dollars? David Euler: "In our faculty (Forestry), we have people who are critical of corporate practices and we have people who support corporate practices. Naturally, the corporations, being self-interested, begin to support those faculty who support the things they do. That's a real problem - how to maintain this freedom to say what we think is right, in the face of incredible budget cuts."

Rosehart, President, Lakehead University During this past year, the Ontario government has reduced operating grants to Ontario's public universities by more than 15 percent in one year. This is unprecedented and places Ontario's funding per university student as the lowest in Canada. In these most turbulent times, the title "Back to the Future" is really meant to imply that we need to look back increasingly to our alumni to help our future students at Lakehead University. The question often asked by the public is "has there been a consensus developed around a fundamental shift in the value of a publicly-funded education system?" Although the long-standing argument in favour of a publicly-funded system stands today unchallenged, the recent practice in Ontario seems to signal a shift in the "Personal Benefit-Public Investment" equation. With the group purchasing power of your University Alumni Association Public Personal Benefit Investment W _ __,\:.>-- non-existent. These issues will, no doubt, be debated when the Ontario government releases its long-awaited "White Paper" on post-secondary education. Accessibility and affordability are questions the public needs to be increasingly focussed upon. One thing is certain about the future; it will not be like the past. In order to look to the future, it is useful to reflect upon where we have come from, and you may find the comparisons in the tables below of interest. Several numbers stand out, and I have noted two with an asterisk. It is clear that, particularly in the 1984-1996 period, tuition fees have really escalated, to almost three times the 1984 levels. During this time, we have seen a long period of recession and, generally, a tough summer job market for the students. As well, debt loads have increased, and the post-graduation job market has become increasingly competitive. Enough of the sobering past - the positive perspective is the significant increase in alumni giving to our Annual Fund, up by Dr. Robert G. Rosehart almost a factor of five from 1984. Your contributions are appreciated and will be even more important in the future as more of the financial burden of post-secondary education is moved to the students. This need is going to be particularly felt by students who need bursary support. The Ontario government, in its May, 1996 Budget, recognized that more student aid was needed in Ontario universities, and they are permitting each university to establish a special student aid (continued on page 19) LAKEHEAD UNIVERSITY'S GROWTH 1970 1984 1996 Student Body (Full-Time) 2,900 3,695 5,800 Budget (Millions) $7.5 $26.7 $48.1 Tuition $560 $1,174 $3,250 Residence/Food $1,035 $2,685 $4,600 Number of Alumni 1,654 12,303 25,278 How do we place some of the above in perspective?

Generally, society recognizes the value of a well-educated population to society as a whole, and it is widely recognized that a publicly-funded education system is one of the most effective social equalizers.
