University and College Academic Staff System (UCASS)

Question

A researcher is looking at the demographic profile of teaching professionals and I came across University and College Academic Staff System (UCASS) with release date "August 2, 2007 (preliminary)". On the statcan page, it does not really tell from where this data is available - dli or custom made tabulations for fee or if its just released. What are the plans on availability?

Answer

The Culture, Tourism and the Centre for Education Statistics Division has provided the DLI with a some education standard tables, some of which appear to be from UCASS (University and College Academic Staff System). The most recent data we currently have in these tables are for 2004-2005. I have contacted the author division to see if more recent versions of these tables or a PUMF are available.
