- ENSURE UBC commits further financial resources to make sure all campus classrooms and teaching spaces are outfitted with lecture capture technology

- ADVOCATE for the training of all professors in how to operate this technology

- COMMIT that the UBC IT department has the staff and resources necessary to ensure this outfitting and training happens promptly and swiftly

- CREATE a university subsidy program through which students are refunded on textbook costs incurred

- DEVELOP a university-sanctioned grant program that covers all or partial upfront textbook costs

- ADVOCATE for the creation of a university-funded permanent grant program that rewards professors for providing and using open education resources in their teaching
