  1. It’s the money, honey.

    And those poor students and the taxpayers “supporting” UBC are now considered a cash cow.

    1. It’s nice work if one can get it.

      During my doctoral residency, the grad students association had hired someone to be an ombudsman. I spoke with him frequently as I was having a difficult time with my supervisor. I wasted my time. He either didn’t want to do anything or couldn’t. As I recall, the position was abolished after a year, so I guess he was as useless as I thought him to be.

      The GSA also started a medical plan for the grad students, but I opted out of it. Since I was on leave from the institution where I was teaching, I was already covered, so it didn’t make sense to pay twice for the same services. The GSA didn’t like that I wanted out and began interrogating me as to who covered me and why, as if it was any of its business. It probably saw my opting out as a betrayal.

      As a grad student, I didn’t have to pay for the students union. In the years since I had been an undergrad, the SU had become a monstrous bureaucracy all by itself.

      That was around 20 years ago. I shudder to think what has happened at my alma mater in between time. That might be one reason it contacts me every year or so begging for money. The bureaucratic behemoth needs to be fed.

  2. The only jobs for anger studies graduates outside menial labour, are in anger studies departments at universities.

    So, the departments got to get bigger. All the time.

    1. And they are all very angry and emotional 24-7. All mean as cat shit everyday of their miserable lives.

      1. Diversity except for heterosexual white males, white conservative women, or Ted Bundy, I think.

    1. “Diversity is divisive.”

      That’s the whole point. Disenfranchising white Canadians. I went to university about 50 years ago and there was no racism then and I highly doubt there is any now. The main difference I notice was Chinese have gotten a lot cooler. They were pretty much socially stunned back then. Walked into a lot of walls. I had many non-white profs and nobody hated them. It’s all about anti-white hate.

  3. Years ago they would have been rounded up and given electro shock therapy. Until the snot was pouring. Now they are running the monkey house. None of this has anything to do with higher education. It has become an industry. Like a degree granting puppy mill churning out uneducated Liberal nimcompoops. Each student over 4 years costs the tax payer 60-70,000 dollars. Probably more than that when you throw in healthcare, and all the other bennies.
    What do you get mentally ill butt sniffers. Who don’t know if their asses are punched, bored, clawed out by a wildcat or put there for a purpose. Gawd help us all.

    1. Like eating disorders, dysphorias aren’t disorders, they’re symptoms of a deeper underlying trauma.

  4. Pretend work in make-believe jobs. There would be less shame in taking welfare.

  5. All about telling losers they are actually more advanced, nuanced, and “emotionally intelligent” than successful people. Or what we used to call successful people, anyway.
    So much easier to pretend they are winners than to put any work into accomplishing anything.

    1. The real pretense is that they are ‘normal’. They are not normal, they aren’t even sane. They are disordered.

  6. People are people.

    IMO we talk and write too much about DIVERSITY. I usually don’t comment. Enough already.

    Live and let live.

    Incidently, I am a Caucasian heterosexual female.
    I love men. There’s just something about them.

  7. I thought that you needed a product to be called an industry.
    The DIVERSITY Industry seems to have INSANITY as a product.
    Maybe, less is more?
