…”eternalcanadian” is being sarcastic, right? Right? I am a robot cannot compute emotions over the internet.
P.S. Alex is a sneaky sneakster.

Please tell me your real plan is to embezzle the $150,000 and buy coke & hookers. I would actually respect that.

For all I know Access UBC is a front for al Qaeda. Don’t support terrorism. Vote no!

Usually, there is a plan before you ask someone to fork over $150,000. Just saying.

Yegads, Alex Lougheed is a pillox if I’ve ever read one. The reason there is no Access UBC is because it has yet to be set up and needs the support & funding. If Alex doesn’t have a disbaility he most certainly is no expert and doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Pffft.

This is fairly dastardly.

Access is an incorporated non-profit and the resolution says the money goes to “participation and inclusion for all people with disabilities on campus and [b]in society[/b]?”

The money is going straight into the pockets of a corporation with no guarantee that the money would even be spent at UBC. Disgusting.

Furthermore, the question states this fee would be levied each “semester”. “Semester”s don’t exist at UBC.

Is a year a semester? Is a term a semester? Is a session a semester? Careful deliberation was not followed in drafting this question.

Allow me the indulgence of adding my voice to the chorus..

Erica: what do you want to do with the money? That’s part of “doing everything right.”

This is ridiculous. Im not going to vote for this-who came up with this?

I heard though that UBC shafts students with legitimate disabilitites from grad and professional schools which is sad.
