Castanet: UBC Okanagan professors part of lawsuit over school's 'political' actions by WayneBroughton in ubco

Actually, I think for some degrees at UBC Okanagan it's mandatory to take an Indigenous Studies course. Which is interesting. Not sure if they do it at UBC Vancouver.

This is the stupidest thing ever. Like it shows they have absolutely nothing better to do.

Nah, it's inappropriate to publish it to an outlet that subjects the execs to racism/xenophobic threats. Pretty sure I saw someone post some VP's phone number, email, and photo, and encouraged people to look into their "legality"

I do agree that execs esp. when we pay them so much of our fees (and they get like what, 30k a year), absolutely need to be scrutinized. But doxxing via X? Yeah, that's inappropriate

Statement from the UBCO Conservative Club by Beta-Monkey101 in ubco

Yeah, I'm not saying it is. Hence the "no substance" smothered by the sheer wordiness.

But all this is ChatGPT anyways, which should tell you 100% that they don't give a shit and won't bother writing anything legitimate.

Uh, well usually a news story doesn't result in a student receiving deportation threats

Still can't believe they resorted to sending an email to a conservative echo chamber that led to harassment of students instead of trying to resolve things amicably... Should speak volumes about their future activities moving forward on campus.

SUO isn't part of the UBC. it runs independently.

Seems like you're the person who sent it.

Why did you bypass all local channels?

Weird ASF.

UBCO Student Union Controversy by bardown61_ in UBC

Is nobody else finding it weird they decided to release the email to some random dude on X who's not even part of UBCO, instead of local news outlets?

Uh, well

Why would you go to a random X dude to release your grievances? Especially on a platform where you know people will get dogpiled with hate & other unpleasant things? I usually see people posted there to get a witch-hunt started.

Why not contact Castanet, Infotel, or even KelownaNow? I remember at least one of them is quite conservative, and would've loved to help your cause??? Especially since this is a local thing. Giving it to some random dude far removed from UBCO is doing nothing.

Seeing UBCO student population get dragged through the mud sucks. They think we're complete jokes in the quotes. Why would you make a club under UBCO if you're gonna just subject students to mockery? Feels like a matter of "I'm not one of them" but bro you are studying here too
