If this material is copyright, I don't think it can be used on Wikipedia.

Waiting

I have notifed Mr. Turpin and am awaiting a responce. Yes I know the copyright info was included in the write up.

Tuition Fees

It is not appropriate to discuss the tuition fee increases brought about by Turpin without considering political factors, specifically, the rise of the BC Liberals, their decision to end the tuition freeze, the effect of the tuition freeze and how it led to underfunding, the need to compensate for underfunding. Furthermore, it would be necessary to include dollar figures and information about what percentages of the fees were/are subsidized before and after the freeze. In other words, it's an article unto itself.

In the previous form it appears to slander the record of Dr. Turpin without taking other factors into account, many of which were beyond his control.

March 2021 tags

I've reverted the addition of tags here. Of the three tags:

Primary sources yes it contains many primary source tags, but they are used for factual confirmations and this is fine. Additonally, articles on academics often have this issue;

Unreliable sources there aren't any, as far as I can see;

Like resume. Well, not much to say beyond the fact that it is not a resume.

Granted, there are improvements to be made here, but overall things are not so bad.--- Possibly (talk) 03:38, 10 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
