I would love it if Sarah and Enzo clarified for all of us so that we are
not giving our students contradictory information.

I met with one of the U Vic students from cultureal differences and human
rights yesterday and we proposed a meeting with all their group tomorrow.
They are talking about doing local...so it would be great to know what
other instructors are suggesting to students.
