In April of this year, the UBC Board of Governors requested a comprehensive review of Policy #93. This was in response to sensitivities expressed by many members of the UBC community in the wake of the leadership change that occurred last year.
As we look ahead to another academic year, UBC is taking this opportunity to re-engage with you on the issue of copyright.
Copyright law is not static. Over the coming two years, we are anticipating several developments in copyright law that will require continued vigilance on the part of faculty, staff and the university administration.
On behalf of the entire UBC community and with great pleasure I am writing to congratulate Professor Stephen Toope on his nomination as the 346th Vice-Chancellor of the University of Cambridge.
