“…While one can hypothesize as to the reason for this continued resistance to management by non-academic forces, specifically looking at the strong tradition of institutional autonomy in the Canadian context, further study is required in order to understand how this autonomy has been maintained in Canada while having been sacrificed in part or in whole in other jurisdictions, particularly the other Anglophone countries, as exemplified in Slaughter and Leslie's account of academic capitalism in Canada, the United States, the UK, and Australia (Slaughter & Leslie, 1997).
