Governing Boards in Postsecondary Education

Since 1960 postsecondary education in Canada has been characterized by the development of a large number of non-university institutions, usually called colleges or technical institutes. Provincial government policy has been to delegate policy and management roles in these institutions to governing boards, composed largely of lay appointees. This study examines the views held by board members in one province, British Columbia, towards many of the most important issues in curriculum, management, and structure which affect the non-university sector. The results indicate that board members tend to reject strong centralization of the system. Further, they support the essential values which have characterized British Columbia colleges as comprehensive, accessible, community-based institutions governed by lay boards.Depuis 1960, l'enseignement supérieur au Canada s'est largement diversifié, surtout par la création de nouvelles institutions extra-universitaires dites "collèges " ou "instituts de technologie". La politique des gouvernements provinciaux a eu comme résultat de confier la direction et l'administration de ces institutions à des comités de "gouverneurs", composés dans leur majorité de personnes non-universitaires. La présente recherche étudie les attitudes des membres de tels comités d'une seule province, la Colombie-Britannique, envers certaines questions fondamentales — de programme, d'administration, et de structures - qui ont trait aux fonctions du secteur extra-universitaire. Il en résulte que ces membres rejettent la possibilité même d'une forte centralisation du système collégial. Et ils cherchent à revaloriser certaines tendances historiques des collèges colombiens: leur ampleur programmatique, leur ouverture sociale, leurs liens avec les com-munautés où se trouvent les collèges et d'où viennent les membres des comités gouverneurs. * The University of British Columbi

A Conflict Resolution Model Amenable to Sociological Practice

Social connectedness constrains individuality in favor of relationship. Group affiliation contributes to a tension between self and social motivation. Often, it becomes difficult to find mutually acceptable solutions to common problems In such cases, conflicts may emerge which require professional intervention to resolve. This article presents a model of conflict resolution which draws resource from sociological theory, research, and practice It delineates an adaptable strategy applicable to a wide range of social structures and concomitant relational problem

Modification Of The Devonshire Formula For The Thermal Accommodation Coefficient Of Helium On Tungsten

The thermal accommodation coefficients (a.c.) of 3He and of 4He on clean tungsten were calculated using the Devonshire formula for temperatures between 70 and 600°K using realistic Morse potential parameters. The calculated a.c. values for 3He and 4He and the calculated ratios of the 4He to 3He values are compared with experimental data. The agreement is satisfactory if allowance is made for the error in the transition probability calculation used in the Devonshire formula

The Effect of Surface Impurities on the Thermal Accommodation of Rare Gases on a Tungsten Surface

A Rather Comprehensive Experimental Examination of the Effect of Surface Impurities (Potassium and Cesium) on the Thermal Accommodation of Rare Gases on a Tungsten Surface Has Been Made by Roach and Thomas. the Present Work Examines These Effects from a Theoretical Viewpoint with Particular Emphasis on the Effect on the Thermal Accommodation of Helium on a Tungsten Surface Caused by the Adsorption of Cesium Ions And/or Atoms. for This Examination, the Theory of Allen and Feuer Has Been Utilized using Reasonable Values of the Interaction Parameters for Helium with the Adsorbate as Well as the Force Constant for the Adsorbate-Substrate Bond. Resulting Values of the Accommodation Coefficients Are Compared with Experimental Values. © 1974 the Japan Society of Applied Physics
