The economic and social benefits of the Canadian university system are widely seen as a public good, which raises a pressing question: Why should we aspire to anything less than a great system? For that to happen, everything about the way universities currently operate, from the boardroom to the classroom, must change - but this kind of operational and public policy transformation will not be easy.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eNothing Less than Great\u003c\/i\u003e provides an expert analysis of the current state and challenges of Canada's university system, looking for positive change by reclaiming what a university is meant to offer for society and for citizens. Harvey P. Weingarten begins with the fundamental question that all students must ask about higher education: Is it worth going to university? From there, he stresses the need for transparency about what universities do and what they accomplish, addresses the importance of modernizing curriculum to emphasize skills over content, and provides recommendations for reform.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eExploring how universities might - and should - change to reclaim their central purpose for Canadians, \u003ci\u003eNothing Less than Great\u003c\/i\u003e will be of interest to anyone who cares about the future of our country and the important role universities play in determining that future.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/sureshotbooks-com.myshopify.com\/search?type=product%2Carticle%2Cpage\u0026amp;q=AUTH-12432030\"\u003eHarvey P.
