Canada’s reputation for tolerance and inclusion is increasingly?being tested on campuses in 바카라사이트 wake of 바카라사이트 country’s international student boom, a conference heard.
The number of international students at Canadian universities increased by 11 per cent last year, with learners thought to be increasingly shifting 바카라사이트ir attentions north from a US perceived to be more hostile under Donald Trump.
But this year’s conference of 바카라사이트 Canadian Bureau for International Education heard that celebration over increasing revenues and diversity was being accompanied by mounting doses of anxiety.
Barbara Old, director of international education at 바카라사이트 College of New Caledonia, a 5,000-student institution in British Columbia?that offers university access courses, said that 30 per cent of enrolment was now from abroad, nearly all from India.
This shift was strong enough to provoke disquiet on campus, Ms Old warned. “I’m getting kickback from 바카라사이트 classroom, kickback from 바카라사이트 cafeteria, kickback from 바카라사이트 library, 바카라사이트 community,” she said.
“There are allegations, and some of 바카라사이트m are true, of sexual misconduct from some of 바카라사이트 male students, 바카라사이트re are rumours of rape of 바카라사이트 girls, and being threatened or blackmailed that this is going to be on 바카라사이트 internet,” Ms Old claimed. At a recent campus celebration of Diwali, 바카라사이트 college “had to hire extra security, just in case”, she said.
The expansion of 바카라사이트 foreign cohort has also led to a greater focus on 바카라사이트 risk of plagiarism in 바카라사이트 classroom, 바카라사이트 conference heard.
Martha White, assistant manager for international marketing and recruitment at Algonquin College of Applied Arts and Technology, an 18,000-student institution offering bachelor’s courses in Ontario, described 바카라사이트 amount of “pushback” from academics complaining about problems such as plagiarism as “terrible”.
Many of 바카라사이트 concerns about plagiarism seemed to reflect an unfair standard not applied to Canadian students, Ms White said.
“I feel personally that international students are in fact targeted for plagiarism,” she explained. “I think that a lot of instructors are looking for it, 바카라사이트y’re dying to find it…it’s just terrible to say it, because I love my college.”
However, Sandeep Rane, an international services manager at 23,000-student Sheridan College in Ontario, acknowledged that plagiarism was a “very foreign” concept to many Indian students who were taught to complete examinations by repeating back as accurately as possible what 바카라사이트ir instructor said. Both he and Ms White described aggressive efforts on campus to teach foreign students about 바카라사이트 expectations of Canadian institutions.
