Okay, this guy hasn't completed any credit courses since 1997 and he still wants to live in rez. WTF. And of course, he's manipulating the media by playing the "disability" card as an excuse.

Excuse me - if you're not enrolled in a full time course load at that university, you have no business living in rez. The disability claim has no relevance here at all. If you'er not going to UVIC on a full time basis, then get off campus, and make room for other students..

At my wife's University, a couple of semesters after she left, the *one* professor in the Foreign Language department who taught German died about a month into the spring semester. The University was unable to quickly get a replacement professor during the spring semester and cancelled all of the German classes.

A few of the students who were foreign language majors focusing in German, were dropped below full time status, but the school, other that refunding the difference between full-time tuition and what they would have paid based on the reduced loan as a part time student, didn't change anything else.

That is a rare instance and is irrelevant here. This dipstick hasnt been full time since 1997---for like almost 12 years or so... My questions is why the hell did the university wait this long to kick his ass out?
