UBC just released its FY25 Statement of Financial Information. It shows $46,540 spent on Proctorio last year. That’s a lot to spend on academic surveillance software that UBC banned in 2021 for discriminatory practices. vpfo-finance-2024.sites.olt.ubc.ca/files/2025/1...

“At UBC Okanagan, we’ve already felt the consequences of a lack of climate action. The 2023 wildfires in the Okanagan forced an evacuation of our campus and devastated syilx lands – a direct result of the fossil fuel emissions banks like RBC keeps funding.”

UBC engineering students have a long-standing tradition of placing a VW Beetle in bizarre locations during Engineering Week. These stealthy, humorous stunts—like hanging one from the Golden Gate Bridge—have become legendary campus folklore.

“Now, the Carney government is doubling down with more subsidies, deregulation, and backing for the very industries driving the crisis. RBC bankrolls it, and Indigenous communities, students and young people are left to live with the fallout.”

The social reckoning was filming at the building at ubc where i fence tonight. I was reminded of film school when I passed a pile of sandbags, which was also my film school nickname. I didn’t figure out why until years later. It was also before I had a breast reduction.

"The UBC sticker case might seem like a small story, but it is not. It shows how disinformation doesn’t always come from shadowy online actors or anonymous troll farms. It can come from established organisations, former insiders, and people who understand exactly how to exploit media ecosystems."

This is an especially interesting development given that earlier this year, the Board ruled graduate research assistants at UBC are not employees of the university.
