Following up on the UNBSJ Story. One would suppose that if the province was going to close your local university that current high school students might have an interest in the subject. Professor Greg Marquis thought so. The UNBSJ professor went to hold a scheduled information session for students at Harbourview High School in St. John, NB only to discover that the 'information session" was cancelled because "he didn't follow the proper procedures, and never contacted the superintendant's office."
According to this article
"District 8's Bev MacDonald says officials are not opposed to students having information about a current community issue."But referring to this as a "current community issue" in this case is absurd. This is an issue that will affect where and in some cases even whether the high school students in question go to university.
You can now keep up to date on all of these happenings by reading "Living In Interesting Times" which has been added to the Canblogs. Again there is also a facebook group created by students, and a petition you can sign if you would like to lend your support to the people of St. John, NB.
