U of O Watch mission, in the words of Foucault...

"One knows … that the university and in a general way, all teaching systems, which appear simply to disseminate knowledge, are made to maintain a certain social class in power; and to exclude the instruments of power of another social class. … It seems to me that the real political task in a society such as ours is to criticise the workings of institutions, which appear to be both neutral and independent; to criticise and attack them in such a manner that the political violence which has always exercised itself obscurely through them will be unmasked, so that one can fight against them." -- Foucault, debating Chomsky, 1971.

Allan Rock's 2011 income

In 2011 U of O president Allan Rock had a university income of $396,292.

Presumably we can add his estimated parliamentary pension of $63,000., which he is allowed to receive even when being paid with university public funds in a full-time job.

This gives a 2011 income of approximately $459,000.

This income from public and student tuition money is the largest president's income by far far far, adjusted for inflation, of any president of the institution.

It's only fair to ask what Mr. Rock has done and is doing for Canada's university.

What have been the accomplishments beyond the unavoidable population-growth-driven buildings and facilities? And beyond the image marketing?

What are the indicators that matter? Student satisfaction... Reputation of graduates... Societal progress beyond cancer research and the like...

What are students entitled to demand as real improvements?

A: He fired your sorry ass. Worth every penny if you ask me.
