Bachelor of Golf?

While all the fuss about UBC's pending purchase of the University Golf Club has recently been focussed on the Musqueam Band's claim on the property, we think there's another matter worth considering......

Just what the heck does Martha Piper and the UBC Properties Lust want to do with all that prime real estate?

Somehow we doubt that it is a seven figure investment in the fledgling varsity golf club.

And last we checked there isn't a degree program on campus that involves the dropping of little white balls into plastic cups.

Which leaves us with UBC's main claim to fame these days.

And, hundreds of thousand spent on full page ads in the Globe and Mail to the contrary, that is not research excellence, and it sure as heck isn't the undergraduate learning experience.

Instead it's condo-development, measurable, objective evidence of which can be seen here, here, here, here, here, here and here.

Go figure.
