Nested authority at TWU September 6, 2006
Posted by mwj as governance, politics, twu, twusa. 3 comments.I met with Dr. Raymond yesterday. I’d booked 45 minutes but his secretary had cut it down to half an hour and he was 10 minutes late, so I had to be understandably pointed in my approach. We were going to have dinner with him as an executive tonight, so I figured we could save the pleasantries ’till then.
Conflict of interest at TWU May 9, 2006
Posted by mwj as governance, journalism, politics, twu, twusa. 2 comments.At Trinity Western University, the newspaper is run a bit like it was in the Soviet Union. One man is resonsible for appointing the editor of the school newspaper, Mars’ Hill. This same man is also the chief advisor to the student government, TWUSA. This same man is also the only person on the final appeals board for “accountability” (i.e. disciplinary) issues. This same man is also in charge of the most ubiquitous campus institution, Student Life.
