Some of the more contentious propositions include a now-rescinded motion to abolish Campus Vibez uOttawa (CVUO).

As a General Assembly to decide whether an anti-abortion group will be able to access resources and support through the union quickly approaches, the UOSU’s BOD amended the union’s clubs code at their meeting on Sunday.
Rachiq’s resignation was announced at the start of the meeting, along with the resignation of Gaga, and Emily Seguin, the board’s Indigenous representative.
When it comes to the SFUO, trust us honey, you deserve better.
The SFUO held their monthly Board of Administration meeting, where they voted on motions that were presented at the General Assembly (GA) on March 13, and one motion that was not presented at the GA due to time constraints.
There is no “right” versus “wrong”. There are policies that occur that must be discussed and debated. These policies are important to people here in Canada, but also to the lived experiences of Palestinians and Israelis. However, we must have the opportunities within an academic institution to fully discuss and explore these implications of policy.
Following the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa’s latest Board of Administration meeting, U of O president Jacques Frémont condemned the string of BDS motions put forward to the SFUO.
This is the second time in four years that the GA has met quorum, likely due to the controversial motion on the agenda calling for the SFUO to endorse the Boycott, Divest, Sanctions (BDS) movement.
One thing we’ve learned from the lone successful GA—students are more likely to show up if they feel like their presence will make some kind of impact.
The first motion detailed caps on SFUO executive salaries, which was met with applause by many in the room, and the second outlined the need for student involvement in course curriculums.
Motions deal with executive pay, course documents At around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, Nov. 14, the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) posted a schedule for its General Assembly (GA) to its Facebook page, which is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. on Nov. 14. On the schedule are two motions: one motion …
Each GA since its institution in Nov. 2014 had failed to meet quorum, save for the latest assembly on March 14, where over 280 students filled Marion Auditorium, many of whom were in opposition to a motion passed by the Board of Administration (BOA) to raise the executives’ salaries by 18 per cent, or $6,200.
SFUO cites legal worries for GA motions, inflation and administration fees for health plan The last Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) Board of Administration (BOA) meeting of the 2016-17 academic year, which took place on April 26, saw several important developments. SFUO reduces GA power Two motions were brought forward to change …
Meeting sees talk on freedom of the press, Dorimain’s March 5 statements.
Whether or not the climate in student politics is boiling or balmy, the GA is a useful tool for you to help fix problems you see in our student union.
March 14 General Assembly sees quorum met for the first time.
If a motion with legal bearing can be shared in a BOA meeting, there is no legal reason it can’t be shared outside of it, since these kinds of gatherings are open to the public.
“This might not be enough, the SFUO should seriously consider handing out free puppies and lattes to get students involved at GAs.”—Emily Smith, third-year economics student.
It becomes more and more important that a greater number of students be given an effective voice—that means being able to vote on policy—and not just a passive role every year.
Since the SFUO decided to refuse to work with the GA Outreach Committee and publicly scolded students for taking matters in their own hands, I can not in good conscience continue to serve the SFUO on this committee.
The Nov. 12 General Assembly (GA) of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO) did not reach quorum for the fifth time in a row, leading to concerns over a lack of promotion, as well as student apathy.
Directors are charged with a duty to make reasoned decisions, not blindly follow their ideological viewpoints.
Student executives are gearing up for this year’s fall-term General Assembly (GA), which is set to take place on Saturday, Nov. 12 at the Marion Auditorium.
A number of students present at the meeting had concerns over two motions proposed at the meeting, the first of which was to abolish section 3.13.4 in the SFUO constitution.
The Nov. 6 meeting of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO)’s Board of Administration (BOA) will see motions to reduce the power of the General Assembly (GA), according to an advance copy of the motions made available to BOA members before each meeting, which was obtained by the Fulcrum.
