Clark civil servant Ian D. Clark , David Trick and Richard J. Van Loon . Building on the 2009 book, Academic Transformation The Forces Reshaping Higher Education in Ontario , the authors start with the premise that the teacher scholar ideal pursued by individual universities has led to a model for under graduate education in Ontario that is financially unsustainable and does not provide the best possible education for undergraduate students. They draw from the literature on higher education reform and on recent policy initiatives in the United Kingdom , Australia , Europe and selected American states and Canadian provinces to show that options are available for providing high quality education to an ever expanding number of students at a more affordable cost to both students and governments. Academic Reform explores ways to sharpen Ontario universities focus on undergraduate teaching and to increase the number of students attending institutions that focus on undergraduate education, without diminishing Ontario s ability to attract and retain university researchers of the highest calibre. The authors develop a model for teaching oriented undergraduate institutions that would complement traditional research universities.

about the academic discipline more general history history of science Unreferenced date November 2007 Original research date October 2009 An academic history can mean a large, multivolume work such as the Cambridge Modern History , written collaboratively under some central editorial control. In the 19th century, the idea appeared in universities that a definitive history could be written of a major region of the world for a great span of time in a similar manner to the way that an encyclopedia was written. The time period was subdivided into eras and one volume specified for each. Within each volume there would be a fixed number of topics. Either each volume would either be written by one historian on the faculty, or else each topic would be handled by a faculty member throughout the series of volumes, or perhaps another system of specialization would be prescribed. This procedure was similar to that undertaken on such campuses to produce encyclopedias of natural history, such as marine biology, for which different scholars would write about different phyla. Examples of the end result of this procedure include the series done by Cambridge on Greco Roman history, and that of Oxford on British history, which may be found on the reserve stacks of many public libraries in the 21st century. What gives this concept of academic history its own historicity, or cubbyhole in time , superseded by progress, is that an academic history was intended to be definitive even though its subject matter, unlike the marine biology mentioned above, was not objective .
