Context Terms of Reference (pdf) Nearly five decades ago, a Royal Commission on Higher Education (1962), chaired by John J. Deutsch, provided a number of important recommendations for the post-secondary sector in New Brunswick including the transfer of St. Thomas University to Fredericton, the establishment of a campus of the University of New Brunswick in Saint John, the consolidation of the numerous existing French-language institutions into a single university, and the restructuring of the Province's student financial assistance system. There have been several other efforts since then to examine various aspects of the Province’s post-secondary sector, but none have explored it in as much detail, or recommended such fundamental changes: • The Committee on Higher Education in the French
Sector (1975), chaired by Louis LeBel, made additional recommendations
relating to the Université de Moncton. Revisions of the post-secondary sector have not been limited to New Brunswick. Six other provinces have launched post-secondary education commissions during the past three years: • Quebec’s Parliamentary Committee on Education
completed a review on Quality, Accessibility and Funding of Universities
(2004), followed by a ministry-led review of the college system.
