On Oct. 13th, former UOSU director Hannah Weidrick reached out to the Fulcrum to share concerns over how Traviss went about withdrawing from UOSU’s byelection. “Quanah withdrew from the election, but not before[…] giving Thorp an ultimatum, it was: he will withdraw from the election as long as the results aren’t shared publicly, and Thorp is only allowed to tell one person. It’s undemocratic and it’s wrong and he’s not supposed to do that.”

On Oct. 4, the Fulcrum received an anonymous article submission raising concerns with many elements of the Union’s operations, the most pressing of which being the ongoing by-elections.

The University of Ottawa Students’ Union’s fall byelections saw a number of vacant positions filled. The UOSU’s five-seat executive committee found their equity commissioner, while four empty seats on the Board of Directors have been filled.

The University of Ottawa Students’ Union has announced the candidates running in the upcoming byelection set to take place next week, revealing that gaps will persist on the union’s Board of Directors due to a low candidate turnout. At least five spots on the BOD will remain vacant following the vote.
