Students are further advised that the content of this Calendar is subject to change without notice, through the regular processes of Dalhousie University/University of King’s College, and every student accepted for registration in the University shall be deemed to have agreed to any such deletion, revision or addition, whether made before or after said acceptance. Additionally, students are advised that this Calendar is not an all-inclusive set of rules and regulations but represents only a portion of the rules and regulations that will govern the student’s relationship with the University. Other rules and regulations are contained in additional publications that are available to the student from the Registrar’s Office and/or the relevant Faculty, Department or School. Dalhousie University/University of King’s College does not accept any responsibility for loss or damage suffered or incurred by any student as a result of suspension or termination of services, or courses caused by reason of strikes, lockouts, riots, weather, damage to university property or for any other cause beyond the reasonable control of Dalhousie University/University of King’s College. Programs and courses: The University reserves the right to limit enrolment in any program. Students should be aware that enrolment in many programs is limited and that students who are admitted to programs at King’s/Dalhousie are normally required to pay deposits on university fees to confirm their acceptance of offers of admission. These deposits may be either non-refundable or refundable in part, depending on the program in question. While the University will make every reasonable effort to offer courses as required within programs, prospective students should note that admission to a degree or other program does not guarantee admission to any given course. However, no student in a graduating year may be excluded from a course required by that student to meet degree requirements because of lack of space. (This rule does not apply to elective courses or to preferred sections of courses). Students should select optional courses early in order to ensure that courses are taken at the most appropriate time within their schedule. In some fields of study, admission to upper level courses may require more than minimal standing in prerequisite courses. For full details of programs available to King’s students through the King’s/Dalhousie Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences and Faculty of Science, including course descriptions, please consult the current Undergraduate Calendar of Dalhousie University.

  • The State of Fossil Fuel Divestment in Canadian Post-Secondary Institutions
    The State of Fossil Fuel Divestment in Canadian Post-secondary Institutions Post-secondary institutions have a critical role to play as agents of change in moving society towards greater sustainability (Stephens et al, 2008), as well as have the potential to become exemplary leaders in the larger climate justice movement. This synopsis outlines the state of the high education fossil fuel divestment movement, with a particular focus on Canadian post-secondary institutions. It was written by Naomi Maina, PhD Researcher, with The Sustainability and Education Policy Network (SEPN). It is part of a larger ongoing research study being conducted by SEPN to evaluate sustainability uptake in Canadian formal education. The study is also interested in what relations may exist between post-secondary institutions that have high sustainability initiative (SI) scores (Beveridge et al., 2014), and their involvement in the divestment movement. “If it is wrong to wreck the climate, then it is wrong to profit from that wreckage:” This is the principle behind the divestment movement, which has gained momentum in the United States, Canada, and internationally since its inception in fall 2012 (gofossilfree.org). Initiated by Bill McKibben, co-founder of 350.org, the grassroots divestment movement calls upon higher education institutions, churches, cities, non-profit organizations, and individuals to divest their holdings from the top 200 most polluting fossil fuel companies. To date, a total of $50 billion has been divested by at least 181 institutions and local governments across the world (Arabella Advisors, n.d.). Figure 1 shows a breakdown of the amount divested by each sector.

Philip Girard* "His whole life was one of continual warfare": John Thomas Bulmer, Lawyer, Librarian and Social Reformer1 On a clear cold day in January, 1899 a ship entered Halifax harbour with a rather unusual cargo. Some 5,000 Doukhobours fleeing persecution in Czarist Russia made a brief stop in the port before proceeding to their ultimate destination in the Canadian West. In spite of the brevity of their stay, a number of Haligonians boarded the vessel to express their good wishes. A lawyer deputed by a workmen's association to address the throng spoke through an interpreter, but his speech did not contain the clichs usually retailed on such occasions. You bring to Canada something more needed in this country than new immigrants - men who will stand by their principles no matter how much suffering it costs them.

Transactions of the Burgon Society, 9 (2009), pages 200–212 The ‘Canadian Tradition’ of Academical Costume in Nova Scotia: The Dalhousie University Model by John N. Grant The eleven degree-granting institutions in Nova Scotia represent a variety of sys- tems and traditions of academical costume. By 1807, the University of King’s Col- lege (1789), the oldest university in Nova Scotia, borrowed the academical dress of Oxford University,1 while l’Université Sainte-Anne, where the use of cap, toge, and épitoge is comparatively recent, is in the tradition of French and Quebec-based institutions.2 Several schools, including St Mary’s University, St Francis Xavier University, Mount St Vincent University, and the Nova Scotia Agricultural College, follow the rules of the Intercollegiate Code of Academic Costume as developed in the United States in the 1890s.3 Other schools follow the ‘Canadian tradition’ of academical dress that Humphries describes.4 It could be argued, however, that this was, and is, in fact, a trans-Atlantic mi- gration of the British academical tradition.

  • The 2012 Campus Freedom Index Measuring the State of Free Speech at Canadian Universities
    Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms JCCF.ca The 2012 Campus Freedom Index Measuring the state of free speech at Canadian universities By John Carpay and Michael Kennedy Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms #253, 7620 Elbow Drive SW Calgary, Alberta, T2V 1K2 Phone: 403-475-3622 www.jccf.ca 1 About the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed people can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has." The free and democratic society which the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms holds out as our ideal can only be fulfilled by honouring and preserving Canada’s traditions of freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of association, other individual rights, constitutionally limited government, the equality of all citizens before the law, and the rule of law. And yet these core principles of freedom and equality continue to be eroded by governments and by government-funded and government-created entities like Canada’s public universities, and human rights commissions at the federal and provincial levels. The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) was founded for the purpose of advancing and promoting the core principles of freedom and equality through education and litigation. The JCCF is a registered charity (charitable registration number 817174865-RR0001) and issues official tax receipts to donors for donations of $50 or more. The JCCF is funded entirely by the voluntary donations of freedom-minded Canadians who agree with the Centre’s goals, mission, vision and activities. The centre is independent and non-partisan, and receives no funding from any government or government organization.
