Protest at UBC
Protest the BoG Meeting
Why: Demand UBC management and Board accountability
When: Tuesday, February 2 at 12:30 – 2:00
Where: Robert H. Lee Alumni Bldg, Centre, 6163 University Boulevard, UBC
How: Faculty, staff and students will gather w/ guests & speakers, etc.
UBC faculty, staff and students will protest the upcoming UBC Board of Governors Meeting, and will publicly demand that
- the Board of Governors stops holding secret, undocumented meetings
- the Board honours its duty to operate in a transparent and accountable fashion
- an external review of its past practices takes place immediately
For more background on the issues leading to this protest, see this letter from the Faculty Association of UBC, which details how the BoG has, among other things, held committee meetings that left no official record, and made decisions about personnel matters without formal assessments or performance reviews.
Please share with all interested UBC people: faculty, students, alumni.
And faculty are encouraged to wear academic robes if they have them!
We have invited MLA David Eby, MLA Andrew Weaver, Minister Andrew Wilkinson, and President Arvind Gupta to join us and speak about these issues.
