Change and Influence in the Community Colleges ofBritish Columbia\n\nJOHN S.LEVIN*  \n## Abstract\n\nDuring the 1980s,a number of social,economic,and political changes in BritishColumbia enabled individuals and groups to influence actions which affectedthe operations and development of the community colleges of British Columbia.This is a study of influence and influencers in the community colleges of BritishColumbia.Examined are actions affecting the British Columbia community col-lege from 1980-1991.Determinants and outcomes of these actions,as well asthose individuals or groups who influenced these actions,are identified.  \n## Résumé\n\nEn Columbie-Britannique,au cours des années 80,divers changements d'ordresocial,économique et politique ont permis à certains individus et groupesd'exercer des influences particulieres ayant affecté les opérations et ledéveloppement des colleges communautaires de la province.On présente iciune étude de ces groupes et de ces influences;on identifie non seulement lescauses et les résultats des actions posées durant la période 1980à 1991,maisaussi les groupes ou les individus ayant exercé une influence particulière dansce domaine.                                   \nGrowth and change have characterized the community colleges of Canada sincethe 1960s(Dennison &Gallagher,1986).In British Columbia,particularlysince 1980,change in the community college has been both rapid and dramatic(Levin,1994).The early part of the decade gave rise to altered legislation gov-erning the community colleges(Dennison,1986;Mitchell,1986)and the latterpart of the decade ushered in the establishment of an new organizational form—the university-college(Levin,1994).As the community colleges of BritishColumbia proceed into the 1990s,over twenty-eight years since their inception,there remains little explanation of how these institutions function as organiza-tions,and more specifically which groups or individuals influence their func-tioning.Whereas Levin and Dennison(1989)posed the question about whodirected the community colleges of Canada in the 1980s and what outcomesensued from their actions,this present study applies the same questions to thedevelopment of the community colleges of British Columbia.  \nAn earlier study of the community colleges of British Columbia (Levin,1994)noted alteration to the structure and processes of governance affectingthese institutions.The development of the British Columbia community col-leges points to an evolving structure of influence over these institutions(Levin,1994).A shift in purpose from education and training based upon communitydemand,to programming based upon provincial government priorities,markedduring the 1980s a major departure for the community colleges from their man-date in the previous decades.Local structures of influence combining institu-tional participants and community representatives gave way to provinciallyoriented structures,including government and the ministry responsible for thecollege sector,the College-Institute Educators'Association,and the newprovincial association of college governing board members and college chiefexecutive officers,the Advanced Education Council of British Columbia.Whilethe rationalization for this structural change was frequently cited by thoseinvolved as improved communications and co-ordination,the structural alter-ation following from a shift in the mandate for the colleges more likely sig-nalled a struggle for control over institutional actions among major interestgroups (Levin,1994).Changes in legislation(e.g.,the appointment of boardmembers by the government;the development and implementation of postsec-ondary educational policy by the Minister),a revised method of governmentallocation of funds to the community colleges,and a slowdown in the provincialeconomy were among the alterations which enabled stakeholders,includinggovernment,to influence the actions which affect the operations and thus thedevelopment of the community colleges of","cbCaifGnQ8pTnVOX","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifGnQ8pTnVOX","pdf",560669,16,"English","# Abstract\n## Context and research
