Lack of Quiet Study Space an Issue at UNBSJ

About 40 UNB Saint John students, faculty, and staff attending a roundtable discussion about the current state and future of the school.

Dr Bob Whitney, a history professor, says it was a productive meeting. One of the main concerns for students appears to be lack of quiet study space on campus. The school has just built a new Commons, but while it's a great place to socialize, over 700 students signed a petition saying the space is simply too crowded and loud.

Other issues raised include cutbacks to professorial positions and unclear job descriptions on the administrative level. A similar meeting will be held at UNB Fredericton on April 14th.
