THIS AFTERNOON, IT WAS REVEALED THAT THE FINANCIAL INFORMATION CARLETONUS
SENATE WAS TO BASE ITS VOTE ON TOMMOROW - FOR CUTTING AT LEAST 11
PROGRAMS AT CARLETON UNIVERSITY - WAS WRONG.
A $500,000 DOLLAR MISTAKE WAS DISCOVERED IN ONE OF THE AFFECTED AREAS: THE
SCHOOL OF LANGUAGES, LITERATURES AND COMPARATIVE LITERARY STUDIES.
THE ENTIRE PROCESS OF REACHING THE DECISION TO CUT PROGRAMS AT CARLETON HAS
BEEN FLAWED FROM THE BEGINNING.
DECISIONS WERE MADE IN SECRECT MEETINGS. INFORMATION WAS CIRCULATED ONLY
THROUGH LEAKED CONFIDENTIAL MEMOS.
THE CARLETON ADMINISTRATION HAS MADE A MOCKERY OF THE DEMOCRATIC
INSTITUTIONS THAT GUIDE CANADIAN UNIVERSITIES.
PRESIDENT VAN LOON AND THE ADMINISTRATION HAVE AGAIN TODAY DEMONSTRATED
THAT THE CARLETON COMMUNITY CANNOT RELY ON THEIR FACTS, OR HAVE
CONFIDENCEIN THEIR DECISIONS.
THE CARLETON COMMUNITY DEMANDS OPENESS AND ACCOUNTABILITY FROM
ADMINISTRATION.
HAS THE ADMINISTRATION LOST THE TRUST OF THE CARLETON COMMUNITY? DEAN BILL
JONES HAS ALREADY BEEN GIVEN A VOTE OF NON-CONFIDENCE - WHO IS NEXT???
