I have a question: how would paying rent affect students’ tuitions and the university’s cost structure? Could SFU afford this without hiking tuitions or obtaining more money from the province (two unlikely events)?

And/or we give up ownership and pay them rent?

Am I correct in thinking that SFU has title to its land (at least in Burnaby - I assume the downtown campus is leased)? Given stated commitments to reconciliation with Indigenous people, perhaps we should
return some of ‘our' land to the traditional owners?
