Open Letter to Students from the President
This morning, the Ottawa Citizen referred to Carleton as "Last Chance U" in its headline about the latest Macleans university rankings.
Today, when I addressed the Kiwanis Club, I stated that the careless use of this term by local media must stop here and now. It is simply not true.
The Citizen's slight does not simply sully Carleton's reputation. It sullies the reputation of the over 1000 graduates who will proudly accept their hard earned degrees at tomorrow's Convocation. It sullies the reputation of over 3,000 people who work at Carleton and the 24,000 students that currently call Carleton home. And it sullies the reputation of the over 100,000 alumni spread across the globe.
I urge those of you who believe as passionately about Carleton as I do to let the Ottawa Citizen know that its characterization of Carleton is unacceptable and no longer relevant. It is time to retire the cliche.
You can address your concerns directly to James Orban, Publisher, at
mailto:jorban@thecitizen.canwest.com or Scott Anderson, Editor-in-Chief at mailto:sanderson@thecitizen.canwest.com.
We are Carleton University - Canada's Capital University.
David W. Atkinson
President & Vice-Chancellor
