Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Governance in Canadian universities is a topic that has not been widely studied to date. In Canada, the most common form of university governance is the bicameral system, which is co-ordinated governance between a Board of Governors and a university Senate. As the structure and needs of universities change, it will be important to consider that a change may also need to occur in the structure and relationship between the Board and the Senate. This project will review the existing literature on Canadian university governance, compile information on governance structure from various Canadian universities, and provide a discussion on some of the challenges that are being faced by the governing bodies of Canadian universities. Finally, some suggestions on possible improvements to the governance system will be provided, as well as a brief discussion of a few of the challenges that may be emerging for universities in the near future. --P. ii.

Not 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.
