We sign in, collect bian dang (boxed lunches), then leave. Apparently the MOE gives them money for having meetings. Last year they started like, a dozen "institutes" (such as the "Hakka Institute" or the "Institute of Moral Life"). These basically amount to signs clamped onto the doors of various faculty offices. They got money for having the institutes too. My university has recently been holding “meetings” every week. We sign in, collect bian dang (boxed lunches), then leave.

Denis Rancourt has been totally irresponsible to the detriment of his own students, but claims it's academic freedom. He's also been unwilling to answer basic questions about his true relationship with university president Allan Rock. Google rockourt if you want the background on this case. Well said.
