Online university part of solution - Lori Van Rooijen, VP Athabasca University - Calgary Herald
In your editorial supporting Mount Royal College's bid for university status, you mention the 5,300 qualified Alberta students who were turned away from universities in 2006 because there was "no room for them." In fact, there is room for them at one of Alberta's four public degree-granting universities -- (online and distance education) Athabasca University, established by the province in 1970. We are a public university accredited by the government of Alberta and the Campus Alberta Quality Council. We are also accredited in British Columbia and the only public Canadian university accredited in the United States. Currently, more than 37,000 students are enrolled at AU, the vast majority of whom live, and work, in Western Canada.
