I found this post while digging online for the BC university presidents' statement on climate change, so thanks for archiving this. It's a shame, though, that you've presented it so uncritically, because the fact of the matter is that most BC post-secondary institutions have failed to live up to these principles.
They've done well in some areas, mostly in relation to operational planning: local food in the cafeterias, bike lanes, that sort of thing. But they've done very poorly indeed at integrating issues related to climate change (or ecological challenges more broadly) into the areas of teaching, learning, and research. It'd be great if you posted something about BC universities' successes and shortcomings in these areas.
