“We were shocked to learn that Professor Tucker was recently abruptly removed from this teaching assignment and are deeply concerned that the decision for the removal relates largely to his advocacy for more learning and discussion about Palestine and Israel. We are aware that the university is being lobbied intensely to silence discussion of what is happening in Gaza, and we strongly suspect that the decision regarding Professor Tucker is linked to his activities in this regard.”

Months after Tucker’s event, the School adopted a new bulletin board policy, stating that posters that contributed to an “uncomfortable environment” would be restricted.

“This Palestine exceptionalism is just not acceptable. To me, the attitude of the school is itself anti-semitic because it implies that to talk about what’s going on in Gaza offends Jews,” another member said.

“There should be a recognition that there’s a diversity of opinion. Don’t stereotype Jews as people who are all expected to have values that are supremacist and racist and who don’t care about the suffering of Palestinians. We find that offensive.”

The writ has dropped and BC's provincial election is fully underway!

For students living in Vancouver or on-campus but are originally from other regions of BC, you can vote in either your hometown's riding or in your campus/living residence's riding.

For students who are from outside of BC (but still from Canada), as long as you've been a resident of BC for more than 6 months, you can vote!

And because I've seen some confusion about this, although the age of majority in BC is 19, the voting age is 18 for all elections (municipal, provincial, federal).

For those of you voting in Vancouver-Point Grey (which includes UBC, Point Grey, and most of Kitsilano), here’s where we can vote on/near campus:

Early voting:

The Nest (Oct 15-16)

University Golf Club (Oct 10-13, 15-16)

Voting Day (Oct 19):

The Nest

UHill Secondary School

To register to vote go to: https://eregister.electionsbc.gov.bc.ca/ovr/welcome.aspx

Cheers!
