TWUSA Statement
November 3, 2005
In this time of self-reflection, the Student Association affirms the University’s commitment to openness and honesty. We affirm the university’s commitment to integrity in all areas. We affirm the university’s continued commitment to growth and development.
At the same time, we advocate for an independent third-party investigation of the relational dynamics of the university’s Administration and Board of Governors. We believe it is vitally important to establish a healthy recognition of the systems of accountability and power structures at Trinity Western University. We believe that it is only after a doctor’s diagnosis that we can understand the fitness of our body. And so we also call for openness to the whole community regarding the diagnosis and prescription. We affirm the present honesty regarding the current legal case, and advocate for continued transparency regarding the due process that is to be followed.
It is in this time of openness that we recognize an opportunity for the university to engage its community both here and outside. Continuing where the student body left off last year, we plan on participating in an open forum with the leadership of the university in the near future. It is our hope that this situation can open doors to further constructive discussions involving the whole community on where the university sits rights now, and where it is going.
The Student Association responds to this situation with prayers for all persons involved. Our hearts go out to those who have been adversely affected, and to those who have to lead during this time.
Sincerely,
James Moes
President, Trinity Western University Student Association
