In a recent article for the Halifax Examiner, Dalhousie University Associate Professor Dr Karen Foster outlines her concerns about the Government of Nova Scotia’s recently proposed legislation. While acknowledging the benefit of aligning research and teaching with government priorities, Foster argues that requiring this alignment endangers those fields and studies without an immediate impact on the community. The author also warns that the act removes the “guardrails limiting government influence over research and teaching,” making postsecondary education more vulnerable to unilateral government influence in the future.
