New Name For Ryerson University

So true. So, of course, the lefties ban streaming. Canada needs many more skilled tradespeople and many less lefties.

The graduates of “vocational “ schools like the former Ryerson or George Brown seem to come out with skills and training for employment in the field where as many university graduates unless they were professional programs like nursing, pharmacy, dentistry, medicine etc. are unemployable in whatever they were studying. This has been known for a long time and makes it hard to pay the bills for many university graduates. A useless degree from a prestigious high ranking university can be very painful, even more so in this pandemic error compared with a degree from a “glorified college” where tangible skills are sought after in today’s job market. Industry needs more MTU graduates in a hurry and Immigration Canada is attempting to fill the void.

Very good, glad to hear they are getting jobs.

From my perspective, there is a difference between education and jobs when enrolling in university.
I studied and graduated in Europe. Paid ridiculous fees, next to nothing, compared to here.
There, at least at that time, the university was about education, not jobs. Until recently, in Germany, you can enroll, successively, in as many graduate programs as you like, if you are seeking an education, and of course, are capable.
Here, in North America, the high tuition fees turned universities into factories for producing workers. However, the quality of the education depends on the quality of the faculty, which in turn depends on the research.

I always told future university students to never apply for undergrad studies at prestigious US universities.
The tuitions are very high and serve one simple purpose: to attract renowned faculty/researchers who in turn attract foreign high caliber, graduate students, for whom the tuitions are paid.
The high quality of the research leads to discoveries and patents that make the university even more prestigious which in turn attracts more undergrads. The system pays for itself.

Here in Canada, the route is different. Ever wondered why you have the impression that you are in Asia when on U of T campus?
My observation is that universities have the tendency to recruit foreign students to whom they charge 3 to 4 times the regular tuition fees, in order to keep the system afloat.
They have local agents abroad in charge of attracting students. The agents are conflicted, as they are paid to provide future students, consequently most of the time these students lack the language and people skills. But they bring daddy's, or mommy's, checkbook.

Thanks for sharing.

My statement was based on:
- historical facts cited above that you are stating are incorrect
- my empirical observation, over the years, is that Ryerson admitted, mostly, those who did not secure admission to other universities such as U of T or U of W, etc...

Either your reading comprehension leaves a lot to be desired, or you decide on what the words mean. I have doubts that you, yourself may have attended a university.

Again, so that you concentrate on the significance of this institution;

In 1993, the institute was recognized as a full-fledged polytechnic university by the government of Ontario and renamed Ryerson Polytechnic University; expanding the mandate of the institution to include scholarly research.[22] The university's school of graduate studies was formally established in 1997.[13]

That is a lot more than your glorified college.

You cannot conclude that this institution is, or continues to be a glorified college. I am done with this waste of time and with your comments. To the ignore bin, you go.

Great. Let's agree to disagree. Done.
PS. Perception is everything

Not getting in that fight but isn't deciding what words mean regardless of normal use the sort of thing they teach at university Well not so much when I was there back in the old days when I would go into Shelbyville with an onion on my belt as was the style of the times and I was with IT before IT changed and now I find IT frightening and scary. Dammit those damn kids are on my front yard again, be right back.

Maybe it's just a coincidence that woke culture won this battle, as Millennials now outnumber Boomers in Toronto.

Millennials now outnumber boomers in Toronto so grab that avocado toast

Toronto boomers should probably stop whining about our social media habits and inability to purchase property, because, according to the latest data,…

10 years from now Toronto will be a woke shithole with annual parades celebrating King Trudeau.

A typical right wing post filled with hyperbole. They can never seem to post anything that is reasoned and realistic. That's why they can't be taken seriously.
