In October 2006, UWinnipeg President & Vice-Chancellor Lloyd Axworthy posed a pair of questions to his management team: how does The University of Winnipeg become an agent for change? What barriers can be removed to increase participation among populations traditionally under-represented in post-secondary education such as people from low socio-economic status (SES), Aboriginal, new Canadian or rural backgrounds?
He then established a task force of students, faculty and administrators who were given the responsibility to provide, by the end of April 2007, a strategy to improve access for students of lower socio-economic status. The Task Force has developed a number of ideas, and would like to solicit broader discussion and commentary from both within and outside the University at public fora and through email feedback.
This interim report should be seen as the basis for this discussion. View the interim report at: http://www.uwinnipeg.ca/index/access-int-report
Feedback is welcome; comments and recommendations may be included in the Task Force’s final report.
