Press Release for Fair Deal Research Funding Announcement
Edmonton, July 23, 2020 – CAFA is deeply concerned about Minister Nicolaides’ announcement about extending the UCP’s Fair Deal rhetoric into Alberta’s universities and how we receive federal research funding. The creation of a new research working group on this premise misunderstands how federal research money is allocated, and fails to recognize how the UCP’s actions and policies further risks such funding going to institutions in other jurisdictions. Glaringly, the new research funding working group only lists research projects that pertain to the sciences, health, and engineering fields; while excluding the fine arts, humanities, and social sciences—which make up roughly 50% of Albertan students and researchers in our universities. Exclusion of the humanities and social sciences from the mandate of the working group is reflected in that there is not a single trained social scientist on the working group. Read More
