X University

[Darts]

Apparently, some/many/most graduates, current and former students are so embarrassed that they now referred to Ryerson as X University.

Ryerson is the one who insisted schools be free (kinda ironic naming a University after him)
You can thank him for the taxes you pay

Ryerson was against educating girls as he thought their time was better spent preparing to be a wife/mother

Ryerson supported racial segregation of the school systems

There are enough reasons to bash him, I just don't see the Indian one as being very compelling compared to other issues

His offspring ended up being religious nutbars (missionaries) and communist politicians (actual communists, not just when we insult some of the modern ones)

Rename it XXX university and increase enrollment.

It might be "hard" getting through those.

 

[HEYHEY]

Rename it Shat U.

The man is 90 and has the No. 1 comedy on Crave.

 

[HungSowel]

Just name it what everyone calls it "Ryhigh"

I have spoken to immigrants who have gone to Ryerson and it seems the first things they tell them about Canadian history are that women were not allowed to vote and bad things were done to the First Nations people.

I am proud to say that I never attended Ryerson in any capacity. Will Rogers ask that their business school no longer bear the Ted Rogers name?

Question: Is Ryerson a good party school?

It should be named University of at least it is not college.

 

[unassuming]

Ryerson Public School will have to be renamed also

As a proud U of T alum elite snob, I still think of it as Ry High, and not a real university, thus who gives a fuck.

I saw a woman who is the daughter of a residential school victim. Who went to Ryerson.

She knew all this before. Then went to the school. Got her degree and now is on the news saying she is embarrassed by her degree and won’t hang it.

I don’t get why now. Why not 4 years ago when she already knew of the horrors her father went through?

I’m not saying to not be embarrassed or anything to those who didn’t know but if you knew and we were impacted and yet you still went, then fuck off with your interviews and sad stories. You didn’t care enough 4 years ago. Why care now?

 

[Mandalorian]

Who knows. The issue wasn’t front and centre in everyone’s face 4 years ago. Maybe the national reckoning happening now is making everyone re-examine their past feelings? Regardless she is entitled to her feelings.

I didn’t say say she is not. In fact I said that specifically. I just don’t think she should be on the news boo-hooing about it and dads victimization when she knew the whole time and didn’t care back then.

Change your feelings - that is fine too but then own it. Again, don’t boo-hoo about daddy’s childhood abuse and when you didn’t care before and now do and if you do, then admit that. Say that you didn’t realize how bad it was when daddy told you about it and now you do.

I wish I could find the interview. I wanted to throw the remote at her. Our family knows of family members of survivors and they have a much different view then this chick who is even privileged enough to be able to go to Ryerson in the first place.

I hope that degree does her good because she sold out daddy to get it.

I took some courses at U of T which counted as credits when I attended Western (posted some pics in another thread). Hopefully, they'll never find any dirt on U of T and/or Western. Also, attended McGill (please don't look for any dirt on James).

 

[Fun For All]

Some people work too hard at their 'self righteousness" in attempts to prove how bad everybody else is...

 

[Darts]

Boycott Ryerson! Just kidding.

If Ryerson to-day provides a good education, I won't criticize any students there. Not every student qualifies for admission to U of T, Western, etc.
