Vancouver Senate 10/11 - 5 Minutes of September 15, 2010 Remarks from the Chair & Related Questions, continued DISCUSSION At Dr. Knight's request, Prof. Toope commented on the status of public transit. He expressed frustration about inadequate service levels. Due to under funding, Translink had cancelled several important projects. Prof. Toope also expressed disappointment that the recent Metro Vancouver Regional Growth Strategy placed rapid transit to UBC behind other projects, including the "green line" to the Fraser Valley. The AMS Council had passed a resolution opposing the Regional Growth Strategy and the Board of Governors had also expressed concern. Concerted advocacy efforts would be necessary in this area. In response to a question from Dr. Singh, Prof. Toope detailed plans for an upcoming trip to India by Canadian university presidents. He explained that Canadian universities had previously been unable to gain the desired level of traction with respect to student recruitment and institutional partnerships in India, particularly compared to their Australian and British counterparts. The Association of Universities and Colleges in Canada (AUCC) had proposed a more dramatic approach to declaring Canada's interest in higher education in India. Under the terms of the recent Canada-India Memorandum of Understanding on Higher Education, Canadian university presidents were to travel to meet with potential partners and national media. Discussions were ongoing with the federal government about potential programs or other measures to support strong relationships with India.
