Fair enough. I was just questioning the validity of the former Ryerson being referred to as a "great" university as I had not heard that before.
New Name For Ryerson University
- Thread starter unassuming
- Start date
Ryerson is the Harvard of Downtown Toronto south of Collage street
As for Rankings it is heavily research based, if you are not a grad student, what do they really mean.
Also highly respected universities attract the keeners, but keener in keener out, those people would thrive at any university... not that anyone could care because of branding.
Also I seem to remember that Ryerson was actually innocent of the claims against him, and they still renamed the university.

What a joke.
they should call it C.W. Gibson University in honour of the old man who used to sing "Keep on Smiling" at Yonge and Dundas while playing air ukelele on his cane back in the 80's. He also predicted that cars of the future would be electric.
They should have called it Bum Fluff University. The tiny bits of toilet paper that gets caught within your ass crack deserves respect.

Could have been worse than just a name change. Better than insolvency.

So much for critical thinking. The fact that the leaders of Ryerson university were incapable of learning from extensive research speaks volumes. It cheapens the university. They then chose to do the easy thing and virtue signal rather than seriously educate and inform. They missed the opportunity for students, faculty and graduates to be proud of RU namesake, who was a strong advocate for the indigenous peoples.Also I seem to remember that Ryerson was actually innocent of the claims against him, and they still renamed the university.

Thanks for posting those links.
The same is also true for the renaming of Dundas Street. A complete absence of critical thinking.
True but we are in an era where the right is going back to the 50's with abortion banning, don't say gay and banning book laws...
An era where the right is claiming fee speech at all cost but are disgraced by someone kneeling down to protest...
It's 100% woke lefties behind RU and Dundas Street renaming. Just scream the woke target is racist or sexist or anything remotely offensive and Bob's your uncle, you get your way like a 3 year old screaming for candy at Wal-Mart.
