Université du Québec
Université du Québec (the Quebec University system) is a Canadian provincial system of ten public universities in Quebec, founded in 1968 by the National Assembly of Quebec and headquartered in Quebec City, and the name denotes the network corporation itself rather than any single member campus.魁北克大学体系是加拿大魁北克省十个公立大学组成的省级大学系统,1968 年由魁北克国民议会创建,总部设在魁北克城;此名指整个联合体法人本身,而非其中任何一所成员院校。
The network coordinates roughly 1400 programs of study and serves more than 100000 students across cities from Montreal to the Abitibi mining towns, making it one of the largest Francophone higher-education structures in North America.该体系统筹约 1400 个专业、服务学生超过 100000 名,校区自蒙特利尔延伸至阿比蒂比矿区城镇,是北美规模最大的法语高教架构之一。
Its members are Université du Québec à Montréal, Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi, Université du Québec à Rimouski, Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue and Université du Québec en Outaouais, plus the specialized Institut national de la recherche scientifique (the National Institute of Scientific Research), École de technologie supérieure, École nationale d'administration publique (the National School of Public Administration) and the distance-teaching Université TÉLUQ.成员包括魁北克大学蒙特利尔分校、三河城分校、希库蒂米分校、里穆斯基分校、阿比蒂比-泰米斯卡曼格分校与乌塔韦分校,外加专门的魁北克国家科学研究院、高等工程技术学院、国家公共行政学院与远程教学大学 TÉLUQ。
History
- The Université du Québec system was established in 1968 by the National Assembly of Quebec, largely in response to widespread student protests that had broken out in the autumn of that year across the province.魁北克大学体系由魁北克国民议会于 1968 年设立,直接回应同年秋天在全省蔓延的大规模学生抗议。
- Quebec built its CEGEP college network in the mid-1960s, with the founding statute enacted in 1967, to open a facilitated pathway into university education for ordinary Quebecois youth.1960 年代中期魁北克创设了 CEGEP 预科学院体系,旨在为普通魁北克青年打通升读大学的便捷通道。
- The influx of new CEGEP graduates exposed a shortage, because existing Francophone universities could accommodate only about 40 percent of CEGEP graduates, and job prospects for certificate-holders alone were poor.CEGEP 毕业生潮暴露了学位供给缺口:既有法语大学只能吸纳约 40% 的 CEGEP 毕业生,而仅持证书者的就业前景相当黯淡。
- Student protests spread rapidly, with 23 CEGEPs and the established Université de Montréal (Montreal University) and Université Laval (Laval University) occupied by demonstrators, while thousands of Francophone students marched in the streets.抗议迅速扩散,23 所 CEGEP 以及老牌蒙特利尔大学和拉瓦尔大学相继被学生占领,数千名法语学生走上街头游行。
- Some protesters barricaded themselves inside their CEGEPs and refused to leave until their demands were met, and although individual protests largely failed, they captured the attention of Quebec's legislators.部分学生封锁校园、不达诉求不肯离开,个别抗议虽多以失败告终,却把问题推到了省议员面前。
- The founding came during the Quiet Revolution, the secularizing wave that swept Quebec after 1960, as a new generation rejected Catholic domination over education and demanded alternatives to traditional religious institutions.创建发生在「宁静革命」期间:世俗化重塑魁北克社会,新一代拒绝天主教会对教育的垄断,要求建立教会传统院校之外的替代选择。
- The National Assembly passed the law constituting the Université du Québec in 1968, creating a corporate network that would extend French-language university education to regions long excluded from it.国民议会于 1968 年通过组建魁北克大学的法案,创设一个法人网络,把法语大学教育伸向长期被排除在外的地区。
- Five new universities were established in 1969 and 1970 to absorb the CEGEP influx, deliberately placed in cities across the province to equalize access where higher education had traditionally been limited.1969 至 1970 年一口气设立五所新大学以吸纳 CEGEP 生源,校址特意分散全省,覆盖里穆斯基、阿比蒂比等高等教育传统薄弱地区。
- Université du Québec à Chicoutimi opened in the Saguenay region and Université du Québec à Trois-Rivières in Mauricie, bringing the university directly to working-class river cities.魁北克大学希库蒂米分校落在萨格内工业区,三河城分校落在毛里西,把大学直接办进了圣劳伦斯河畔的工人城市。
- Université du Québec à Montréal was founded in 1969 as the urban Francophone university of downtown Montreal, and Université du Québec à Rimouski extended coverage along the lower St. Lawrence.魁北克大学蒙特利尔分校 1969 年创建,成为市中心的都市法语大学;里穆斯基分校则把体系沿圣劳伦斯河下游铺开。
- Université du Québec en Abitibi-Témiscamingue followed in 1970, with campuses placed in mining and forestry towns such as Rouyn-Noranda and Val-d'Or rather than in one central site.阿比蒂比-泰米斯卡曼格分校 1970 年接续成立,校区不设于一地,而是散布在鲁安-诺兰达、瓦尔多尔等采矿与林业小镇。
- The same founding wave created the Institut national de la recherche scientifique in 1969 and the École nationale d'administration publique, dedicated to graduate research training and to professional public-administration education.同一轮创建浪潮在 1969 年催生魁北克国家科学研究院与国家公共行政学院,分别专攻研究生科研训练与职业公共行政教育。
- In the 1970s a sixth regional university joined the network, the Université du Québec en Outaouais at Gatineau, completing the geographic coverage of Quebec's major regions.1970 年代第六所地区大学乌塔韦分校在加蒂诺加入,补全了魁北克主要大区的地理布局。

- École de technologie supérieure, an engineering school founded in Montreal in 1974 for working professionals, was likewise brought into the network as a full member university in the early 2000s.高等工程技术学院 1974 年在蒙特利尔创立、面向在职工程师,同样在 2000 年代初被纳入体系成为正式成员大学。
- This network of provincially located universities was explicitly modeled on the American state university systems already existing in 1968, such as the State University of New York created in 1948, adapted to a Francophone Canadian context.这套省内分布式大学网络明确效仿当时已有的美国州立大学体制,再加以加拿大法语语境的改造。
- As in other Canadian provinces, all universities in Quebec became public institutions during this period, and the UQ network was the province's own creation rather than a merger of private colleges.与加拿大其他省份类似,魁北克各大学在此期间相继公立化,而该体系是省政府的全新创设,并非私立学院的合并。
- The first president of the new corporation, the political scientist Léon Dion, took office in 1968 and set the network's regional-decentralization and research-training direction through the following years.首任总裁、政治学家莱昂·迪翁 1968 年上任,奠定了体系区域去中心化与科研训练的走向。
- Historian Jean-Marie Poirier became the founding president of Université du Québec à Montréal in 1969, while the system headquarters administration settled in Quebec City, where it remains.历史学家让-马里·普瓦里耶 1969 年出任蒙特利尔分校创校校长,体系总部行政机构则落址魁北克城并沿用至今。
- Later rectors of the network included the social historian Roch Denis and the engineering-management scholar Robert Beauregard, before former UQAM president Johanne Jean was installed at the head of the system in the early 2020s.此后主持体系的总校长包括社会史学家罗什·德尼与工程管理学者罗贝尔·博加雷,2020 年代初蒙特利尔分校前校长若安纳·让接掌整个体系。
