Since it's diabetes awareness month, I thought I'd provide some information related to #diabetes coverage in #Alberta that I hope you would find helpful. This information is publicly available - I will provide links in this thread for your reference.
@meritocratics@UAlbertaAlumni@UAlberta Thank you. I'm not doing this to be missed. I respect my university and hold it to a high standard and I'm glad it's in good hands. Cheers.
@DougParsons57@UAlbertaAlumni@UAlberta I certainly hope they do. It's my alma mater, so I care for its reputation and hold it to a high standard. Thanks for your input.
Prof. David Kahane: The University of Alberta communicated that they “wanted to show” a “more caring and student-centred” response than elsewhere. “I was told repeatedly . . . that the university would not clear the encampment unless there was violence.” https://t.co/h1ofCio3Wn
On May 11, Edmonton Police Services cleared the Palestine solidarity encampment on the University of Alberta Main Quad. According to U of A political science professor David Kahane, those involved are banned from campus for one year. https://t.co/JCoawccYum
In a moment of solidarity with the people, police officers greet, shake hands, and hug the truckers and citizens of the Coutts blockade who stopped traffic for eighteen consecutive days.
.@ualberta why bother setting up pol sci, history, and law departments? It's like teaching immunology and calling the police if students decide to get vaccinated. What a horrifying choice of action on your part.
.@BFlanaganUofA we demand an explanation for why the university asked the edmonton police to disperse a peaceful protest asking the university for transparency re: @ualberta investments. Were you aware of the intent to use force to remove your students from the quad?
.@edmontonpolice please explain why the level of violence exacted on @Ualberta students was allowed and why those dispersion strategies were different than those used with the trucker convoy, antivax protests and the Coutts border blockade.
In universities, we learn to ask deeper questions and how to critically think. We learn about history, politics, & law. Explain calling the police on students peacefully implementing what they learned in your own departments? @UAlberta
“This is not a normal war. The war in Ukraine has killed 500 kids in two years and the war in Gaza has killed over 10,000 in less than five months. We have seen wars before but this is something that is a dark stain on our shared humanity.” -Dr. Fozia Alvi https://t.co/6kYj7ICWdP
