Board Meeting: George-Jim and Board Chairman

board meeting: I'm not sharing my feelings and perspective with you because I want sympathy or an apology; this is not a pleasant experience, George-Jim, who hails from the T'Sou-ke Nation on lower Vancouver Island, stated in her letter, according to The Chronicle Herald. I am sharing this because it is unacceptable that this happened at the highest level of governance at our institution. Kati George-Jim read her six-page letter at Tuesday's board meeting. If we want to entertain the idea of promoting diversity and inclusion at Dal, we have to do better. When she spoke up admittedly breaking rules that govern the meetings George-Jim says she was harshly reprimanded by the board chairman, Lawrence Stordy. The fourth-year political science student said she was repeatedly interrupted, patronized and ignored at a meeting in June, when she attempted to talk at length about promoting Aboriginal inclusion at the university.
