"The houses do not provide adequate space for modern teaching, research, or work activities."
False. They were used up until last year.
There are many ideas for their future use.

"The Ring Houses are not public historic
resources." The point of the #RingHouseCoalition, as you know, Mr. Sharman, and Mr. Young, is that #UAlberta should model heritage conservation practices by treating them as such. #EdmontonHeritage @BFlanaganUofA #yegcc @MichaelJanz

"The Coalition’s proposals did not best meet the needs of the university."
The university was not consulted. Faculty, staff, and students are the university. Who were you talking to?

"It would be irresponsible to divert any student tuition or Campus Alberta Grant funding for this purpose."
Red herring. Nobody asked you to. Capital fund-raising? Partnership with Primavera? Read the proposal. #UAlberta @AmarjeetSohiYEG #EdmontonHeritage

Where is the [university's] review under its "Preservation . . . policy" of the Ring Houses' historical value? Question not answered. No review? #UAlberta #RingHouseCoalition

Does the President agree that the University of Alberta has a duty to consult with faculty,
students, staff, and neighbouring communities about plans to develop university properties and that affect heritage buildings and spaces? @BillFlanagan

Pretty simple question. How about a real answer? A lot of people would like one. #RingHouseCoalition #EdmontonHeritage #Yeg @TheAASUA @UnionNASA @UASU
