Missed a Spot
I’ve read with great interest all of The Link’s articles and editorials surrounding the issue of university governance in the past few months, including articles on the actions and motions of senate this past week.
One omission (due to space, perhaps?) was any coverage of the Strategic Academic Plan and the consultation process around it.
While I agree that recent events have made governance the foremost topic of discussion, I worry that Concordia Student Union representatives to Senate, The Link and the quickly emptied overflow room for Senate’s guests may have missed a very important forest for the trees.
The opportunity to guide the long-term academic directions, and to help define what we are to do as a university community is one not to be missed, and deserves the attention of the student body and media.
