Please Help: This could be triggering to some people but I need some advice. I have an exam today at 12pm. I missed one of the midterms because I was very sick so now my exam is worth about 60% of my grade. I have clinically diagnosed Major Depression with manic episodes - borderline bipolar. I was steadily ...
How to Succeed in Arts Without Reading (via Jim Halpert): The worst thing about arts courses is probably the reading. You're expected to blow through hundreds of pages of literature (give or take) over the course of a term, and it gets really hard to do all that reading when you find that your textbooks/handouts/pirated PDFs are getting soggy with tear...

Back off, TERFs: Note: The author recognizes that this piece was written on the ancestral, traditional and unceded territories of the Coast Salish peoples, specifically the sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish), sel̓íl̓witulh (Tsleil-Waututh), and xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam) nations. It is important to recognize the ways in which...

It regularly ranks among Canada’s top universities, has a vibrant student community, and the view of the mountains from the flagpole is hard to beat. I also love the variety of events regularly held here, often featuring highly acclaimed (and sometimes co...

Unnecessarily pitting visitors vs community: MacInnes field parkade: A fancy traffic-flow model from Brunt & Associates can't answer the question: WHY? If you, like me, have found yourself idly wondering why the site of the new McInnes field has been sitting as a desolate, soggy pit of disgusting gravel-water over the last 6 months since the demolition of th...
New loophole in BC domestic tuition cap: a gchat dialogue.: UBC got some flack this year for their mega tuition increases for international students. Domestic students have been spared from drastic changes in the cost of education in recent years thanks to a BC government policy limiting tuition+fee increases to 2% a year since 2005. But that policy is ve...

This Votermedia ballot is not currently funded. It is displayed as a demo for if and when there is funding. Without funding there may be few votes, which makes the rankings less meaningful. During the 2015 UBC AMS elections we ran two UBC AMS votermedia contests: A $700 Continuous VoterMedia (CVM) contest on the ballot above, and a $1500 One-Time Elections VoterMedia (1VM) contest funded by AMS -- see info linked here.
