Consideration should be given to removing Mr. Day from the alumni list as he did not actually graduate from UVic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.183.127.122 ( talk) 20:05, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
Why is there a rabbit at the top of this page? It scares me... 71.81.249.201 00:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
I would have thought the rabbits deserved a sub-heading all to themselves?
Currently I am translating this article into Japanese. I have a question on a paragraph about the University Act in 1963.
In granting autonomy to the University of Victoria, the University Act of 1963 vested administrative authority in a Chancellor elected by the Convocation of the University, a Board of Governors, and a President appointed by the Board; academic authority was given to a Senate which was representative both of the Faculties and of the Convocation.
I do not understand two words.
1.a Board of Governors
2., and a President appoint by the Board
3.a Senate
I would appreciate it if you would help.-- Orcano 18:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
Hi,
Universities in BC are granted autonomy via the University Act which UVic is member of. Senate in this case, refers to:
The University Senate is the body that governs all academic matters for the university. They rule on matters such as programs, standards and course content. The senate is comprised of ten members, including 16 student representatives. Nominations are being sought for student representatives on Senate. [1]
Students have election votes to elect members of both Senate and BoG and at the same time, there are ex-officio members appointed by the university.
Board of Governors : The Board of Governors manages the university's financial matters. They are responsible for the maintenance and construction of buildings, the appointment of staff and faculty and the establishment of faculties and departments based on the recommendations of the Senate. It determines all fees and student aid, administers university assets and approves the university budget. [2]
President is the one who represents the university and is in charge of all affairs of the university. You can think of it as President of a country, but in a sense of a institution-based one.
Hope this helps-- Cahk 21:54, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
Hello my name is Andrea, i am a student from Mexico City. Me and my team are doing a project in which we need to contact someone from an university abroad in order to get some information, because we are interested in going abroad to study. We will really appreciate your help.Thank you! Blueapple23 00:15, 17 September 2007 (UTC)Blueapple23
there is also a school of environmental studies! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.104.164.75 ( talk) 18:18, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
Micheal M'Gonigle copy and pasted from the uvic website "Dr. M’Gonigle holds the Eco-Research Chair in Environmental Law and Policy, and is cross-appointed between the School of Environmental Studies and the Faculty of Law. A political economist and environmental lawyer, Dr. M’Gonigle has an extensive background in environmental activism, including as a co-founder of Greenpeace International, SmartGrowth BC, Forest Futures (Dogwood Initiative) and as a founding co-director of the Sierra Legal Defense Fund. As Chair of the Board of Greenpeace Canada, he initiated the Greenpeace forest campaign in 1990. Most recently he was a member of the Legal Mechanisms Experts Team devising innovative legal mechanisms for aboriginal and community-based management of British Columbia’s Central and North Coasts." http://web.uvic.ca/enweb/faculty/gonigle.html
Also, Nancy J. Turner- recent recipient of the order of British Columbia. "Nancy J. Turner of Victoria is an internationally-distinguished scholar and scientist who has devoted her life to documenting the endangered knowledge of First Nations. As a pioneer in ethnobiology, her more than 25 years of research have focused on the diverse interactions of First Peoples in British Columbia with the ecosystems they depended on and the critical role of plant resources for foods, medicines and materials. Her research will be seen as a most valuable compendium of aboriginal culture and plant lore in British Columbia." http://www.protocol.gov.bc.ca/protocol/prgs/obc/1999/1999_NTurner.htm
The link to the UVic news release doesn't give any info on a co-award of the prize, and the Nobel Peace Prize article doesn't list Dr. Weaver as a co-recipient. What's the deal? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.246.40.54 ( talk) 17:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
142.104.164.123 ( talk) 08:04, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
I believe the "Rankings" section is a little bit biased, seeing as the only ranking shown is from Maclean's, which continually ranks UVic very highly. I believe some rankings from other well-reputed sources that rank Canadian universities should be added. WhisperingWisdom ( talk) 07:40, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
I recently edited the University of Victoria webpage to reflect their current policy of pursuing a lethal cull on the feral rabbits which live at the University. My edit was reverted and marked as vandalism. There was no vandalism involved, and I consider this biased censorship. As the University are openly proclaiming that they are pursuing a lethal cull of feral rabbits in the press, why should this not be reflected in their Wikipedia page?
This is my proposal any changes for neutrality are welcome;
Please change "euthanize" to "kill". Euthanasia is a procedure in which the animal is killed because it is suffering. It is being used here as a euphemism and does not accurately describe the situation. This compromises the neutral point of view. PaeB. 141.129.1.98 ( talk) 22:26, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
- Ottawa4ever ( talk) 08:44, 20 August 2010 (UTC)
The following comments were taken from the talk page of the former McKinnon Gym article:
The article was merged after a merge request from 2009 stood for three years with no comments or opposition against the proposal. The article's content was very short and remained a stub. I think the information is better suited towards improving the athletics section of this article as opposed to another stand-alone stub article. WTF? ( talk) 16:20, 13 July 2012 (UTC)
University of Victoria Computer Science Department is being considered for deletion. One proposal is to merge the contents of that article here. Please weigh in if you have a moment. -— Kvng 05:29, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
In the article it states that the university is ranked second on MacLean's when it was ranked first.
Could someone change that?
