Congrats to our @ubcosenate student colleagues for their advocacy on this important policy! Now we need a similar policy for UBC-Vancouver students too.

Appreciative that so many of the directions envisioned by the @UBC Student Senate Caucus in this document are aspirations shared widely across the Senate community. Looking forward to the work ahead!

It warms my heart to see how many students are benefiting from my colleagues' commitment to #OER. Free online texts for Calc 1 through 4 were used by 50K students last term. @sunygeorgia @ubcprez @_jeaniemalone @maximillianH98 @nancymck1 @simonpbates – at Vancouver, British Columbia
Replying to @ubcmath

I am senator with my own opinion, I am more than a student. I find it extremely disappointing that an older senator was able to talk down and accuse our opinions of being a waste of the senate’s time. Such a shame those who make decisions on behalf of students wish to silence us.
Replying to @UbysseyNews
Senator Lawrence Burr asks student caucus "not to talk so much." He asks them to stop "filibustering" and repeating points, saying perhaps one student should say all their points.

Kate Ross presents the 2020/2021 academic year term dates, which includes a later start to the fall term and thus a late end of fall exams, as well as an early start to spring term, and thus earlier end to spring exams.
The Office of the Provost and VP Academic is now presenting their report regarding Student Evaluation of Teaching.

In 2018/2019, the great majority (90%+) of evaluations in sections with 75 or more students met or exceeded the minimum response rates. These sections account for 54% of the total enrolment.
