Fucking hell I can't believe this guy was my university prez at #UBC lol. This is an all time shameful performance.
"Ono spent much of the meeting repeating similar lines and also dodging direct answers, saying in some cases that he wasn’t qualified to opine. When Governor Carson Good pressed him on Covid vaccine mandates — pointing out that as an immunologist, he must have an opinion — Ono answered: “I’m a mouse doctor,” adding, “I’m a test tube kind of guy.”

Turns out the latest issue of the UBC alumni magazine is pretty good. Not only does it look at Tronald Dump destroying American democracy, but I learned that having a hometown boy on your NHL team increases attendance at each home game by 12k and brings in an additional $4.8M of revenue annually (page 57). The things that they “research” at university these days. 😀

The (very lovely and highly functional) Comms and Engagement team within the VP Finance and Operations portfolio at #UBC are hiring for 2 positions.

I’ve worked closely with this team for years and I can’t speak highly enough of the people within it and the importance of their work for the university.

The latest from Emmett MacFarlane. I am so sick of whiny, entitled, arrogant, shitty people. 10-to-1 these are Canadian #MAGA

"Misguided lawsuit against UBC evokes culture war nonsense"

"The litigants here are essentially complaining that the university is recognizing a legal fact that they do not happen to like."

open.substack.comMisguided lawsuit against UBC evokes culture war nonsenseA small group of professors is suing the University of British Columbia to stop the university from engaging in “political activity.” According to the CTV story on the legal challenge (I have not seen the statement of claim), the professors object to the university’s use of land acknowledgements, its promotion of equity and inclusion initiatives, and university statements that were perceived as taking positions on the Israeli-Palestine conflict.

1/5 Life update: the final version of my #PhD thesis has been accepted onto the #UBC thesis repository - ending my academic program!

All that's left is to wear the nice maroon and blue gown and silly hat in late May (see pic from UBC G+PS).

Four graduates from UBC stand holding their diplomas. The leftmost is wearing a black gown and a mortarboard, and the other three are wearing a maroon gown with blue sleeves and front along with a maroon hat.
