University senators say move stifles media coverage, undermines public trust

A controversial new protocol implemented by the president of Thompson Rivers University in an effort to keep information about the public institution out of the hands of reporters is expected to be discussed by university senators at an upcoming meeting.

Previously, agenda items and supporting materials — often including newsy reports written by TRU staffers — had been made public one week in advance of each meeting. The time allowed senators, members of the community and reporters to peruse the information for anything noteworthy. “If I were looking to write a media release, I would write a media release. Those reports are for you as senators.”

“Because of your coverage, I’ve heard from faculty members saying, ’This is a really problematic event.’”
