Most international students for Windsor Business is from China. If the Chinese public, the schools and students know windsor “sell” them to a private company for the huge tuition they paid, I think windsor business will soon out of china market. Stupid to think only the money!

Thanks to the CAUT for this information. INTO’s travails at Oregon State University and South Florida are particularly interesting.

More to report on INTO soon…

I did NOT have a bad experience. Study Group is a reputable company and it was a good relationship.
My comments are pointing out the huge benefits in Canadian universities partnering with private CANADIAN owned institutions rather than international off shore owned companies.
I actually have a private public partnership with a public college. It works very well.

Congratulations to faculty and students at Windsor for this victory and best of luck for the future votes at computer science, science and arts and social science.

There’s an important lesson here about Senates. In the UK, they have been downgraded and increasingly disempowered but they still remain of tremendous importance in defeating this kind of project as it’s hard for managements to proceed in the face of such manifest academic opposition.

Keep us posted!

UCU is producing some briefing materials on Study Group International which we will post up here shortly.

In the meantime, you can view a briefing document we produced on the phenomenon of private providers in ‘pathway’ programmes recently here: http://www.ucu.org.uk/media/pdf/l/l/privatecospathwayprovision.pdf

I’ll post it in the resources section too. Hope it helps!
