But, he said, opposition to his attempts to Canadianize the faculty was only one factor. He recalled with a laugh attacks on him two years ago for being "pro-American" when the University of Victoria made a successful bid for the Jane Austen Bicentenary Commemoration. Robin Mathews, a Carleton University professor and self-confessed Canadian nationalist, charged that the commemoration's speakers list was stacked in favor of Americans at the expense of Canadian scholars. "The hardest thing to do for an executive officer is to hold a middle position," Jeffrey said.

"There are attacks from both sides on any issue." However, the three years as department chairman, he said, "has almost radicalized me." Now that he has resigned he is more free to speak out and Jeffrey said he intends to become more involved in consultations with government and national academic groups and to communicate more with the public. More freedom to fight for academic excellence, including a hire-Canadians-first policy, is behind the resignation of Dr. David Jeffrey as chairman of the University of Victoria English department, he said Tuesday. He said his resignation was prompted 'by a whole host of professional issues" that included a higher academic standard, more responsibility to the community and more contact with students. Jeffrey said as an ordinary member of the faculty he would have more freedom to pursue those goals than as a department head.

"What the public doesn't understand is that (university) executive officers, and that includes the president and deans, have a great deal less authority than responsibility." Such matters as hiring of new faculty and development of the curriculum are controlled more by majority votes of the faculty. Thus, such issues at a university are controlled, he said, "by established vested interests, sometimes expatriates."
