'Wealmostblewatire':Vancouveritesreport 339potholesfollowingdeepfreeze B O B K R O N B A U E R Save the University Transition Program VSB unilaterally, without consultation, made two drastic changes to the way the UTP is run: • The role of the Program Coordinator was eliminated and centralized to the VSB Administration; and • The admissions process was changed from an open application process to one that is closed to the public and based solely on teacher referrals. It’s inconceivable the VSB would implement these irreversible changes to a Program with a 20+ year track record without due process and careful consideration. We the students, parents, alumni, and citizens hereby demand the VSB halt it's unilateral changes made to the Program and reconstitute the UTP Steering committee with full stakeholder representation for due process Visit giftd.ca for how you can help
