The universities have 90 days to submit a report with the requested information to Alberta’s Advanced Education Ministry. The University of Calgary said in an email that it has received the letter and is reviewing it, but isn’t able to comment at this time. The University of Alberta acknowledged it, too, received the minister’s letter and will be responding. It also referred to a statement made earlier this month by Walter Dixon, interim vice-president of research and innovation, which said the school has asked the federal government for guidance on the issue. Dixon said the university looks forward to guidelines expected late next month from a working group of the federal government and universities that’s dealing with national security as it relates to funding and research partnerships.
