Camosun holding consent-education workshops
Camosun College is holding free consent-education workshops in February and March for students and employees. The workshops are happening on February 8 and March 8 at Lansdowne, and February 22 and March 22 at Interurban. See camosun.ca/services/sexual-violence/education for info.
College changes fee-policy wording
Camosun has changed their wording in a fee policy regarding how tuition is calculated. The previous policy was the source of a recent complaint from a student (see our November 29, 2017 issue). Tuition at the college is calculated on a cost-per-hour basis; however, as we previously reported, not all in-class hours are the same for courses with the same material, learning outcomes, and credits. To account for this, the college has added a paragraph in its policy saying that although tuition is calculated by the hour, in-class hours could differ due to differences in delivery methods.
Camosun alumni joins board of governors
Camosun grad Phil Venoit has joined the Camosun College Board of Governors. Venoit received the Camosun College Distinguished Alumni Award last year. His term runs until December 31, 2018.
CFS-Ontario chair reported to police
Canadian Federation of Students-Ontario chairperson Nour Alideeb spoke at an anti-Israel rally on Saturday, December 9, saying that tuition from the students she represents is “going to pay for military resources in Israel to kill children.” The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies, an organization that fights racism and anti-Semitism, reported Alideeb to the Toronto Police Hate Crime unit.
