Faculty Senate
to receive final
suggestions
about colleges
By Chris Smith
THE WESTERN FRONT
The University Planning
Council has formulated its final
recommendations to the Faculty-
Senate concerning Western's
college reorganization.
The recommendations did
not reconfigure the current
organization, but rather out
lined how future proposals
should be handled.
"We are expecting the provost
(Andrew Bodman) to bring
forth a proposal soon," UPC
Executive Julie Lockhart said
The first recommendation
stated any new proposals
should explain what problems
the change would correct, the
potential opportunities for
improvement and the way the
plan would be implemented.
"As we discussed it (the survey)
we realized the options
presented were so vague," UPC
member Carolyn Dale said
"The faculty were unable to see
specific gains."
The UPC's also recommended
strongly consider addressing

ments and access to classes.
Despite the fact the survey
did not address GUJRs^^gjagBji

"The faculty and staff across
the board sees problems with
general requirements, and we
need to do something about it/V:
Dale said. "We've got a real*
problem; we really have i&~

all," ..she - said. "It was basically
Him getting what he wanted, and
I just kept thinking of it as I was
losing something."
Ashley, now 21 and a
Western junior, said Alix
coerced her into sex by saying he
would break up with her if they
didn't have sex, professing his
mother had sex at a young age.
Ashley requested her name be
withheld becauseshe said the
incident still embarrasses her.
Sarah Rankin, director of
Crime and Sexual Support

coercion is a type of nonconsensual
sex and akin to rape because

UBC professor crilsefeed for her dissenting opinions on Sept. 11
By Ailey Kato
THE WESTERN FRONT
Dr. Sunera Thobani, a wom-ens
studies professor at the
University of British Columbia
in Vancouver, was personally
attacked by the media after
sharing her views on the terrorist
attacks of Sept. 11 in a
Canadian women's conference in
October 2001.
Thobani visited Western's campus
Wednesday and Thursday to
discuss her beliefs and the experience
of voicing her dissenting
opinion towards the Bush administration
and the American
media. She focused on the effect
Sept. 11 has had on the women,
civil rights and anti-racism movements.
She spoke at Fairhaven
College and to classes on campus.
She said she spoke out
against the war on terrorism
and the Canadian media labeled
her as anti-American.
"Sept. 11 provided a moment,
a real moment, to question the
role of the United States in the
world," Thobani said.
"The attack on me was to stop
that moment and stop that kind
of discussion," she said.
Thobani said the United States
must realize it can not be the only
world"i3u^ftrpower and expect to
get resources from anywhere
without having to use violence.
These two things go together and
can not be separated, she said.
Thobani received death
threats, hate mail and harassing
phone calls because of her
speech at the women's conference.
The Royal Canadian
Mounted Police said her speech
was a hate crime.
"She is a really brave soul,"
said Cynthia Moulds, Interim
Director of womens studies.

be taken lightly or done at the
spur of the moment^ She sug-_

"It's important that the artist
is seeing what you're seeing,"
Snider, said. "I've met a lot of
\;- people who say they've been bullied
into doing something they
don't want to do. Ultimately, it's
your right to walk out."
