As a charter [i.e., one of the first registered] student of SFU, I find and deem this situation - one of the administration's own making - Hello, President Petter! - ludicrous in the extreme. Canadian universities are largely funded by Canadian taxpayers for the benefit of Canadian taxpayers. The SFU bureaucrats can rationalize their policies all they want. Their "explanations" are meaningless and vapid. Do an article on where the biggest alumni association chapters are located.
