And the bell strikes four.
We'll know the results some time on Monday.

#UBCBoG formal bios:
No formal notice from #UBCBoG yet on the new gov't appointees.
Very slow morning run on the eve of the #ubcbog meeting
BC's mandate letter to UBC is a classic example of late capitalist sentiment and free marketeering. Veiled behind false sentiments of carrying about First Nations issues, the letter is as though written by a conservative minister of post secondary. #UBCBoG

Meaningful #divestment #ubc, is a temporary tactical divestment from US-based firms and funds, toward European and Asian firms and funds.

At the #UBCBoG meeting.
Pres' presentation highlighted "ubc's value proposition" as a key pressure that could shape ubc's strategic direction.
No clue what that means.
Four brave souls who stepped out against the corporate agenda.
I aplaude you.
#UBCBoG
Made it through to the end of term without getting sick, but ended up losing my voice and catching a cold at the end and am now reduced to blanket wraps and hot lemon tea!
No #UBCBoG meeting for me today where I would vote against tuition hikes.

Is any investment in capitalism truly ethical?

When the general public thinks its okay to express their opinions as vulgarly as possible we have a real problem.

#UBCBoG chair writes that board policies are being reviewed in phases. FA hopes that means engaging periodically with #UBC community.
#UBC "New practices such as livestreaming administration meetings." Correct me if I'm wrong: so far only livestreaming ONE #UBCBoG meeting.
Points for governance reform presented to #UBCBoG by #UBC Faculty Association. www.facultyassociation.ubc.ca/docs/UBCFA-Submission-to...
Board of alumni: #UBCBoG mistakes have been made, unintentionally; governance is good at #UBC, but communication has been lacking.
@marktmaclean at #UBCBoG on conflict of interest: not a Napoleonic code of do/don't do this but must be declared & then conversation ensues.
Staff at #UBC (4000 of them) can be terminated without cause: huge impact on whether someone will speak out on race, gender, class. #UBCBoG
@marktmaclean to #UBCBoG: "The faculty are locked out of these decisions. While you have locked yourselves into this room." #UBC
"It is incomprehensible that elected faculty of #ubcbog have not yet reacted to non-confidence by their colleagues." nghoussoub.com/2016/04/11/thank-you-cha...
Stuart Belkin speaks for more transparency. But doesn't think #UBCBoG needs to address structural issues. ubyssey.ca/news/new-chair-believes-... #UBCBoG
Lessons: a) #UBCBoG making bad decisions is not soap opera, b) #UBC members discussing governance is not chatter. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/british-colu...
@KalinaChristoff: no conf. in #UBCBoG "translates into a lack of confidence in the presidential search committee." www.theglobeandmail.com/news/british-columbia/ub...
