Meta Complaining about race related issues on /r/sheridan

116 Upvotes

Hi folks! It's me, the one person who moderates the subreddit!

Over the past few years there has been an uptick in posts complaining about international students, specifically students from India. Indeed, as of the 2021 census (and actually since 2011), India makes up the largest nation of immigrants to Ontario! As the largest minority immigrant group, it is disappointing (though unsurprising) that they have been made the most recent target of ridicule.

While I will acknowledge that norms may be different accross cultures, this doesn't give a license to post unoriginal, low-effort put-downs disparaging a group of people based on their background. The topic of "international students are bad and I don't like them" doesn't really create any opportunities for discourse related to Sheridan College and as such, I usually remove these posts under rule 6. If you have problems with Canada's immigration policies, I suggest you direct your comments to your federal member of parliment.

Unfortunately, I'm getting somewhat tired of this task. Moderating an online community is an often thankless (unpaid!) job, and while I'm not asking for praise, I'm also not really having fun! The time for new mods is coming, but until that day arrives here's the deal:

I don't want to police this topic anymore and I will likely lean a little heavier on the ban-hammer going forward. It is much easier for me to ban you than to continue to remove your posts.

Play nice.

Advice Makeup For Media And Creative Arts kit and program tips

Post image
3 Upvotes

Hi !! (21F) I actually went to Sheridan back in 2023 for Art Fundamentals, I'm returning this year for Media and Creative Arts, super excited to be back!

I’m eager to get started, but I’d really love to hear from anyone who’s already in the program , starting this sem or has taken it before. I’m curious about the kit we receive and what’s included, whether I should buy any storage for everything, and if so, what type/size of storage would you recommend?

Also, is there anything not included in the kit that we’ll be using a lot and that you’d recommend getting ahead of time? Any tips for supplies, equipment, organization, or anything else would be super helpful!

I'd also love to meet some new people! It would be nice to make friends with others in the program, especially anyone who’s starting this year!

Discussion Laptop recommendations for PBAID?

1 Upvotes

Soooo I will be starting Interior Design this fall and it’s a laptop required program. I am aware of the minimum specs it should have since there’s a dedicated link to it on Sheridan’s website. I was just wondering what specific laptops is everyone else in the program bringing/ getting to have an idea of what I should get for myself 🙂‍↕️

Also if you’re starting the program this fall hmu! I haven’t seen people talking about the program here so it’d be nice to get to know some of the people I will be attending classes with :-)
