[edit] List of universities in British Columbia‎

I suggest you to look into Talk:List of universities in British Columbia for reasons why the institutions that you added are not university yet.--Cahk (talk) 22:22, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I hope you have been following this discussion and noted my point. A UC needs to be approved by the Minister of Advanced Education for the right to use 'university' in its name following a quality assessment by the Degree Quality Assessment Board, then the Legislature's approval and finally requires the Royal Assent from Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia under the Degree Authorization Act. We are currently in Step 2 of 4 and thus legally and practically, they are not university, yet.--Cahk (talk) 22:27, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

You are not reading the talk page as I said - Wikipedia is based on concensus and we already have one - not to rename them until they are officailly proclaimed so. The province's announcement reads as follow: "Capilano College will become a university" not Cap college IS a university today. There are legislative requirements that makes it clear it has to go through the BC Leg before it is official. The announcement made is simply to make the Gov's intention known and let the institution be ready for the change.--Cahk (talk) 22:36, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Please read all the province's announcement, they all read as follow: "Pending amendments to B.C.’s University Act" - they are not universities until the Legislature said so and the bill is not even tabled at the BC Leg yet: [1]--Cahk (talk) 22:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I am starting to wonder if you actually read what I typed: They were announced they are GOING to be upgraded to university and been given a name chosen by the Minister of Advanced Education. However, they ARE not university as we speak right now. If you don't believe me, feel free to contact anyone of them and ask if they can issue documents in the name of university and I gurantee you the answer is NO because without the law that saids they are, an announcement is only an announcement.--Cahk (talk) 22:48, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
They will officially become a university when the BC Leg passes the amendment to the University Act (which is not even on the table yet) and Royal Assent is given. Once those two steps are done, the Minister of Advanced Education will designate a date when these universities will be allowed to operate on the new name. No, you read the announcement right, just you fail to understand how our education and legal system work.--Cahk (talk) 22:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
I am sorry if you feel your voice is not being heard - but if you take a look at the articles, they all have the new name of the university indicated, pending legislative change. However, they are not legally universities at the moment and thus, they will remain at what they are now until then.--Cahk (talk) 22:55, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
The BC Gov have not yet tabled the legislation to the BC Leg so it's rather optimistic that it will pass in 3 days of time. Again, they "anticipate" which means it's not true as of we speak right now. Wikipedia isn't a crystal ball, we present facts as of today, not a few days later or a month later. --Cahk (talk) 22:58, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
Like you say, it's only (anticipating) 5 days away, why don't we just leave it alone for now and add it when it passes through the legislature? I thank you for being civil and not try to revert changes as we speak adn welcome to Wikipedia (I been through this stuff when I started so don't feel like you are being picked on). --Cahk (talk) 23:09, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
