I asked all of my friends (internationally and of different faith than Christianity) who have or are attending SFU regarding this PR stunt. Most of them agreed that they feel no compelling reason that SFU is "deemed" a religious school, by the presence of crosses on its arm.
It's simply a PR stunt, and that's where our tuition goes! Stupid administrators. Why couldn't they spend money on meaningful things, like reducing tuition fees? Why?
i'd agree that it shouldn't be at the top of their list, yet, i disliked the crosses and i am happy they are leaving!
