On the Study of Higher Education in Canadian Universities.
Skolnik, Michael L.
Canadian Journal of Higher Education, v21 n3 p96-114 1991
The status of higher education as a field of study in Canada is examined and compared with the United States. The factor seen as most limiting the field's development is not low demand or limited employment opportunities, but reluctance to allocate resources because of low prestige and support outside academe.
