I have lived here for a while now, and I never thought it would come to this, but in a way I am not surprised. Some people at UNBC don't agree with the values of the new chancellor. Well I've got news for you, there are some people in this town that don't agree with your values.
I was under the impression that a university is a centre for higher learning. Closing one's mind to other people's views is not the way to enlightenment. A diverse university should be more than just what suits the faculty. My beliefs and values should be as important as yours. Who represents me? Don't forget, this university is a public institution. It's not only for you, or the students that attend, it's for the whole community.
What's the plan here? Shall we go through the students and not allow anybody with a conservative view to attend? Shall we go through the staff? The left thinks that they are on a roll and they are going to drum out anybody that doesn't agree with their views. I don't see a University of Northern BC for Liberals anywhere. I would hope that the university does not cave in to this type of phony, goody-two-shoes tripe.
