SFU’s Administrative Culture:

$1.00

Our campaign to persuade the SFU administration to institute an independent review of the “Ogden decision” benefitted from the more general turmoil at SFU during a period when the relationship between the administration and the faculty association was souring.

In the process, it reveals that there can be serious consequences for administrators who violate university policies.
