UBC Deans, what do you know and when did you know it? After six months and a crisis that’s growing, it is time to come clean.
The Freedom of Information disclosure indicates that you were unhappy with President Gupta. On 1 May, Gupta couldn’t tell: “Things seem to be going well with the Deans now (or at least I think so).
On 22 April, a week after the FAUBC claimed a mini-victory over scaling back and amending Policy #81 (“Use of Teaching Materials in UBC Credit Courses”), Gupta did the accountable thing by announcing that he was moving Dave Farrar from the post of Provost.
That Policy #81 process was painful; it nearly led to CAUT censure of UBC. Such a needless policy and cost but no one really shed tears over the exit of the Provost.
Except the Deans. The Deans took a tantrum. Why is that?
Montalbano said as much to Gupta: “The issue with the Dean’s in response to the Provost announcement was a catastrophic example that you are not either being informed in a timely manner or worse.”
Ok Deans, time to speak up and come clean. What happened?
With integrity, he was rehired.
Time to come clean UBC Dean.

May I suggest someone start asking and or investigating firstly the Dean of Dentistry with his so called political management style (and also his executive director) with their knowledge and or participation in the Zed affair, department harassment and discrimination , cronyism, infidelity, non conforming hiring policies etc.
May i also suggest these were brought to their attention many ,any years ago and also to the attention of the then vp provost!
