It is quite unfortunate that the hospice project faced so many oppositions.
And in a democratic society, people can use all kinds of reasons, no matter how "strange" that may sound. A hospice would affect "proper student life"?
Shouldn't student spend time to study?
Quote:
The proposed location of the hospice has been shuffled around eight potential sites around UBC over the past two years.
Two of the proposed locations near Place Vanier and St. John's College, both student residences, was met with opposition from students in 2009. Students believed that the construction of a hospice nearby would infringe on students' rights to a "proper student life," according to a Facebook page called "Building a Hospice Near Vanier hurts UBC Students".
