Some might argue it's not all about the Benjamins (or the Robert Bordens in our case). There is a lot more SFU could be doing if we look at the efforts made by our colleagues at UBC in their relations with the Musqueam people as an example:

We'd need to change a lot of the infrastructure and put a lot of tax dollars toward the rent. But likely whatever we do to actually work towards Reconciliation will lead to hardship/discomfort/expense on the part of the government and insitutions of the settler peoples. Part of the tough work will be to convince people and institutions to take on hardship, discomfort, and expense. We (I speak as a settler) can't just say "we're sorry" and expect that to be enough.

Could SFU afford this without hiking tuitions or obtaining more money from the province (two unlikely events)?
