The objective of this article is to revisit the role of public policies in the social production and reproduction of university access inequalities that have been made evident more than ever in the current intensified mass higher education context.

Cet article porte sur les compétences technologiques des rédacteurs professionnels. Les résultats de notre sondage pancanadien révèlent que la pratique de la rédaction professionnelle requiert des compétences technologiques variées : production de documents adaptés à divers supports, connaissance de l’hypertexte et des nouveaux genres du web, utilisation de nombreuses TIC. Ces constats sont mis en relation avec une analyse de la place des technologies dans les cours de rédaction de niveau universitaire. À partir des données compilées dans les universités ontariennes, nous montrons que les cours de rédaction permettent aux futurs rédacteurs professionnels d’acquérir en partie les compétences technologiques attendues.This paper focuses on professional writers’ technological skills.
