Democracy Gone Astray

Democracy, being a human construct, needs to be thought of as directionality rather than an object. As such, to understand it requires not so much a description of existing structures and/or other related phenomena but a declaration of intentionality.
This blog aims at creating labeled lists of published infringements of such intentionality, of points in time where democracy strays from its intended directionality. In addition to outright infringements, this blog also collects important contemporary information and/or discussions that impact our socio-political landscape.

All the posts here were published in the electronic media – main-stream as well as fringe, and maintain links to the original texts.

[NOTE: Due to changes I haven't caught on time in the blogging software, all of the 'Original Article' links were nullified between September 11, 2012 and December 11, 2012. My apologies.]

Cuts at Capilano U: Is Worse to Come?

One by one, several department and program heads at Capilano University were called in last week for some bad news: They were going to lose courses, or programs, or even their whole departments.

Some would be cut; others would be "suspended," with current students able to finish their programs next year but no new students admitted. Still other courses would be moved into different programs.
