Re: reconciliation and university land



Susan’s suggestion seems feasible and could be implemented in short order. Whatever we do, we need to go well beyond the acknowledgment statements on where we are.

At the very least, provide free tuition and fees for descendants!

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?
