The university was founded in 2005 by David F. Strong, the former president of the University of Victoria, purchased in 2008 by the Eminata Group, and is currently owned by Global University Systems. ==History== University Canada West was founded in Victoria, British Columbia in 2005 by David Strong, the former president of the University of Victoria.〔 The establishment of the university marked the first time in British Columbia in which a for-profit institution had been authorized to use the designation "university," the result of the province's recently enacted, controverisal Degree Authorization Act. In 2008 the school opened a second campus in Victoria. That same year it was purchased by the Eminata Group.〔 At the time of the sale, it was reported the school was teetering on the edge of bankruptcy and struggling to attract students. Faced with declining enrollment at its Victoria campus, in February 2010 the university shuttered the second site, giving prior students the option of transferring to another college or to its other campus. However, some students interviewed on CBC News said their preferred college was unwilling to transfer their units and they could not afford moving to the college's other campus.〔 In October 2012, "over 30 students, graduates, faculty and former teachers and employees interviewed by Hindustan Times have alleged that it is a university only in name, and that many of them were duped." At the time of publication, the university denied the allegations saying that it had many students who secured positions in industry and government, both in Canada and abroad. In 2015, University Canada West was acquired by the Global University Systems group. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「University Canada West」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
