SFU students like to complain about our digital infrastructure. I can attest to this because I am a student, and I’m complaining right now. Everything from Canvas being slow to courses filling up in minutes is enough to earn a top post in r/simonfraser. I like to imagine that SFU’s IT department had these posts in mind when they decided to schedule their latest update during most people’s enrollment dates — a crisp screw you to the haters.  

This isn’t a complaint against SFU’s IT department as a whole; I know it takes hard work to keep our systems safe and running smoothly. But surely a line must be drawn somewhere that isn’t the hopes and dreams (and wallets) of fourth-year students trying to finish their required courses. 

And don’t even get me started on how non-user-friendly goSFU is in the first place. They should take some pointers from my high school club’s Weebly website. Yes, I know there are site functions that Weebly wouldn’t be able to accommodate, but that’s where ingenuity comes in! When has Weebly ever let us down? #goSFUgoesWeebly2k24

The Peak spoke to a staff member of the academic and administrative services office to learn more.  We will refer to the staff member as Madge to protect her identity.
