A student at Memorial University says the focus needs to be on the wider issues facing the Indigenous population following news yesterday that Vianne Timmons is no longer the MUN President.Beth Jacobs is a representative on the MUNSU board and an executive on The Circle of First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Students.They say Timmons has been at the center of the discussion, while greater issues of systemic racism, colonization, and neo-colonialism have been “dismissed.
And now, Jacobs says, Timmons is moving on without having to face any accountability. As well, they say because of Timmons’ dismissal the Board of Regents and other areas of the province will not take accountability for systemic racism, instead pinpointing it on one person.
