I would like to see a participatory mechanism established, a committee which would monitor, analyze and make recommendations to administration and council regarding ethical funding strategies and sources - an intellectual/education/professional endeavor. | | PE 2007 |

A participatory process will lead to transparency and bring with it greater accountability. Then Upeace just need to add a communication mechanism. | I support the July 13/2007 open letter of concern to the Upeace council. | NRSD 2003 |

UPEACE must participatively review the success/failure of all its programs, and openly celebrate the contributions of ALL UPEACE members. Let us never forget where we are coming from, who has been with us all along, and where we are going together today. | I support the July 13, 2007, OPEN LETTER OF CONCERN TO UPEACE COUNCIL. | NRSD 2003 |

4 vital actions for accountability: a)Create an internal Ombudsman; b)institute whisteblower protecion policy; c)elected permanent faculty, student & alumni representation in Council; d)academic integrity protection policies(accreditation, tenure, etc.) | Furthermore, in support of the July 13 STUDENT LETTER OF CONCERN, I call for an immediate response by the Council stating the outcomes of their revision to the Rector-elect's appointment in light of the concerns brought up by students. | ESP 2007 |

Although I've not been a student at Upeace, my mother's time there finishing her masters afforded me many learning experiences. Ronnie DeCamino, as an influential figure in her acquisition of knowledge, was also an important figure in mine. | | UPeace 2nd generation |

I consider the response of the Rector-elect to the Open Letter of Concern inadequate as it does not answer our vital questions in regards to his involvement in institutions that have nothing to do with UPEACE and its principles. | What´s really concerning is the fact that 3 professors who always stood up for students´ rights are no longer at UPEACE! This reminds me of the "silencing of the opponents" that was taking place during dictatorships! Is that what we want from UPEACE? | PE 2006-2007 |

The response from the UPeace administrative bodies and the "Rector Elect" to the concerns recently raised by students and professors (re: decision making processes that actually reflect the UPeace mandate)has been inadequate. Hopefully, this will change | in the future and dissenting voices will not be silenced. I sincerely hope the professors targetted for the 'cost cutting measures' will be reinstated and that the UPeace Board will seek a rector who more closely reflects UPeace ideals and principles. | ILHR 2007 |

Is it just me, or is there a pattern? It looks like the "rebels" are being pushed to the side. Even the holistic proposal I sent to the council was ignored and not even discussed. It seems that there is a lot of fear to maintain the status quo. | There is no peace at UPEACE. How can we create a product of peace, without the experience of BEING peace? (or LOVE, for that matter?) | PE 2006 |

My general comments are that we are taught within UPeace about Stakeholder involvement, and yet in important matters this is not exercised at UPeace. There is no formal mechanism for verbalizing concerns. | | ESP 2007 |

Be the change you want to see in the world. We cannot uphold ideals of democracy, honesty, justice and human rights without practising what we are preaching. It is my humblest request to the council and the UPeace community to be true to its mandate. | | MA Peace Education 2006-07 |

Walk the talk... the University still has a long road to go before they can say that's been accomplished. Hopefully these measures would help that progress. | I support the July 13/2007 open letter of concern to the Upeace council. | Peace Education 2007 |

Although I don't know about internal dynamics at UPeace, weakening women and gender studies in a UN or any such structure certainly shows a lack of commitment to place women's concerns at the center of the learning process and future policy processes. | | Assoc Prof Universite de Toulouse le Mirail |

It's absolutely preposterous when administrative decisions make the faculty leave the school. If there is financial crisis professors and academic process should not be harmed by "cost-cutting initiatives" - administration should cut its own expenses!! | I support the July 13, 2007, OPEN LETTER OF CONCERN TO UPEACE COUNCIL. UPEACE and its students should not have even a remote connection with UNOCAL | IPS 2005 |
