An initiative to the You Reform has been associated with Bror Rexed , the then head of the National Board of Health and Welfare Socialstyrelsen , who in his welcome speech to the staff in 1967 announced that he was going to say You to all, increasing the effects of the reform and bringing it to a more frequent use. The actual reform had started earlier, including the amended language in the major newspaper Dagens Nyheter . It was seen as a reform in a democratic direction. Earlier it was considered impolite to speak to a parent, especially someone you do not know, other than by title. A subordinate was addressed as you or he she , and alternatively by name. You , in contrast, was used among groups of close friends, family, and for addressing children. It should, however, be emphasized that the usage of you singular or plural or titles varied between different parts of the country and thereby also by social context, both before and after the reform.

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.
