More Student Fees, A Very Bad Rabbi, And Take That, You…Athletics, You

protest.jpg
U of T students fail to stop increases in athletics fees. Why, it’s almost as if students had very little political power. When did that happen?
Prominent Toronto rabbi sued over sexual harassment. If you think that’s bad, wait till you hear what the priest and the minister did!
Religious groups call for faith-based school funding. In other news, Lance Bass is still gay.
Ontario Grits pledge $700 million for senior home care. Sooner or later, they’ll get to something you care about and spend money on it—then you’ll vote for them! Although they of course say that these are two completely unrelated events.
And finally, the Jays beat the As last night.

    Why, it’s almost as if students have very little political power. When did that happen?

    They have the same political power as everyone else. If they’re 18, they can vote. If they like a party or candidate, they can volunteer time or donate money.
    But a University is not a democratic structure. It’s a publicly-funded quasi-business with a board of directors. You want to affect the balance sheet and fee structure? You need to be on the Business Board of the Governing Council. End of story.
