Abstract
Campus 2020: Thinking ahead is a policy in British Columbia (BC), Canada, that attempted to hold universities accountable to performance. Within, I demonstrate how this Canadian articulation of educational accountability intended to develop governmentality constellations to control the university and regulate its knowledge output. This research illustrates how power in education is evolving from a disciplinary form, as expressed in the term governmentality, and toward a form of networked power in the form of societies of control. I pursue my analysis by juxtaposing sections of the government report with sections from Gilles Deleuze’s Postscript on the Societies of Control. The synthesis from these two texts demonstrates how BC’s provincial government intended to develop a network of governmentality constellations which would have maintained and exercised power through macro- and micro-surveillance technologies. In conclusion, I argue that BC wanted to assemble its new accountability machine and finally participate in the neoliberal democratic network of educational surveillance in Canada, and eventually, the world.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
