A short and incomplete video history of student activism at U of O...
Did you know about this YouTube channel "KrillKop"?
It has an eclectic collection of videos of past student activism against institutional logic at U of O.
Check it out.
Like the time Allan Rock lost his nerve with student Marc Kelly and yelled at him like a crazed university president...: HERE. (Marc had a recorder in his pocket.)
Or the time the Faculty of Science decided it needed hyper security against student walk-in inquiries...: HERE.
And many more.

Wow

I never thought I would see the day soon when the student media at the U of O would find its voice in the needed criticism of the university administration...
Wow.
The French student newspaper La Rotonde is on fire with being brushed aside by the Rock administration.
Its latest razor sharp editorial is HERE.
An English translation is provided by student senator Joseph Hickey HERE.
The editorial focuses on the internal administrative meltdown that is occurring with five major and sudden departures in the last 12 months or less:
- chief of media relations Andre Dumulon,
- main media mouthpiece,
- chief of staff of the president,
- VP-Academic (second in command) Francois Houle,
- VP-Resources Victor Simon,
- dean of science Andre E. Lalonde,
not to mention the departures since Rock's arrival on campus ... :
- VP-Academic Robert Major,
- Legal Counsel Michel Flaherty,
- VP-Governance Pamela Harrod,
- VP-Governance Nathalie Des Rosiers,
- VP-External,
- President Gilles Patry (in mid-career),
- VP-Research Howard Alper,
- Chair of the BOG Marc Jolicoeur, ...
Will The Fulcrum wake up and participate in this revolution in accountability?
