18. MAGAZINE RANKS U OF A SIXTH-BEST PLACE TO STUDY
14th annual Maclean's university rankings placed U of A in sixth place,
same position as last year. U of A finished eight places higher than U
of Calgary and scored much higher among graduate students in quality of
teaching and extracurricular activities. Maclean's editor-at-large, Anne
Dowsett Johnston, said more government funding is essential as she
believes significant number of Albertans turned away. U of A ranked low
in difficulty retaining students going from first year into second and
has large classes. Carl Amrhein, U of A provost and academic
vice-president, said university concerned about student retention
although Alberta's oilfields tempt some with high-paying jobs while
other students move between Alberta's fluid college and university
programs before settling on home institution. Amrhein frustrated with
Maclean's not dealing with dramatically varying grading systems across
provinces at high-school level. For instance, an A- is considered an 86
per cent in BC and only 80 per cent in Alberta. Amrhein pleased to hear
that U of A graduates gave U of A top marks in first student survey with
78 per cent of graduates said their time at U of A had benefited their
lives. Appointment last week of Indira Samarasekera as next U of A
president testament to U of A's high reputation Amrhein said.
