This piece is in response to Jake Mullan's letter: "The Residence Hall Association is gratuitously self-indulgent."
It's our job to find the truth. UBC's job, as a public institution, is to provide it.
Thank you, Jump Start, for such a fantastic experience and good luck to all the people I have met! I hope to see you all again soon.
The RHA, while being essentially a student-funded organization like the AMS, operates more like a self-indulgent social club.
"Classes, friends, dorms -- I'm worried I'll be doing something wrong."
During the 2011 federal elections, only 38.8 per cent of those between the ages of 18-24 who were eligible to vote actually did so. That’s embarrassing.
They train as long and as hard as any athlete and they play a game recognized as a sport by the IOC. So why doesn't UBC treat it like one?
Are players of eSports successful? Absolutely. Have they spent hours and hours practicing? Yup. But they’re not athletes.
The “victory lap” is becoming more and more common -- and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Uber is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad company, and the AMS should waste not an iota of its limited resources promoting their interests.
Uber is reliable, inexpensive and the future of private transportation.
If student politicians were more concerned with taking a stand for their constituents than being able to quietly voice concerns at private meetings, perhaps we might see some real pressure for change.
The UBC Board of Governors is clearly out of its depth and failing in its responsibility to provide transparent and accountable governance.
There has been a lot of discussion on whether rape culture can be battled with humour, but we can all agree that this was completely inappropriate.
