ST. JOHN’S (CUP)—It was recently discovered that a Biology midterm exam containing information based on fraudulent research was given to students taking an online course at Memorial University of Newfoundland.
Course professor Chandrika Liyanapathirana said she had no way of changing the test’s content after it was sent to Distance Education and Learning Technologies.
“I don’t have control at all,” she said. “I don’t know what happens after that. I don’t have to go to the exam centre or anything. Everything is done by [Distance Education].”

The Laurentian Leadership Centre (LLC), Trinity Western University’s extension campus in Ottawa is a bit shaken, but undamaged after being hit by an allegedly stolen vehicle driven by two men apparently under the influence of alcohol.
The accident occurred Wednesday, February 1, when “a car collided with a second vehicle at the intersection on the southeast corner of the LLC building,” said Mark Lott, the LLC Community Life coordinator.
Robyn Grant, an LLC student, heard the car hit the building and ran outside to help the occupants escape the car. But she was frightened off when one of the men “started screaming obscenities and waving a beer bottle around.”

Andrea Norrish has resigned from the position of Student Council vice president, citing personal conflict between her and President James Moes as the reason for her departure.
“I have really different ideas about how an organisation should be led than James,” said Norrish. “James and I have been working on our relationship since last spring and the disagreements we had got to be too difficult for me to handle.”
Norrish told Council of her decision at the February 16 meeting. Moes said that the possibility of Norrish’s resignation had been brought up several times during the year.
