摘要：With the erosion of public funding, Canadian universities have increasingly diversified their funding base. An upsurge of entrepreneurial initiatives has displayed significant earmarks of privatization which have alarmed some faculty and student stakeholders, drawing reactions partic- ularly from among those from the arts domains. They accuse senior uni- versity administrative officers of distorting academic values. This study is an attempt to capture and understand the views of presidents of Canadian universities (N = 89) through a 60-item questionnaire focused in broad terms on academic values, funding, institutional directions, and the impact of the corporate sector.
