There were few surprises at the March 6 annual public reporting session of the University of Saskatchewan Board of Governors.
Board chairperson Nancy Hopkins began the meeting by acknowledging the low turnout and attributing it to the snowstorm.

Ever hated a movie everyone else seems to love? Again, of course you do. Even Star Wars has its detractors — weird, mole-like detractors with acne who smell like bantha poodoo. Pity them.
