Reading Time: 2 minutesHistory has been made by Dean Wels, a third-year student at the Telfer School of Management, who has somehow been placed on academic probation in the first week of school after winter break.

Reading Time: 2 minutesThe philosophy student, an enigma to those around it, treats syllabus week as hunting season. Asserting dominance during introductory lectures is their only way of ensuring a successful semester.
Reading Time: 3 minutesINAC needs to come to a reasonable agreement with the employee, given the fact that her claims of harassment were not taken seriously, and that she was wrongfully fired while on sick leave that was initially approved by her employer.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThis GA was voted on as an emergency motion in the last BOA meeting. That’s right, your democratic participation was an afterthought.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe drivers were given OC Transpo swag, including a parka and thermos, which Watson explained: “(were) used to hold hot drinks, like green tea or hot kombucha.”
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Ontario government should be granting temporary licences to these establishments (with possible high taxes) to keep them running while the appropriate framework is developed.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThrough introducing this legislation, the government is essentially saying that the economic position of elderly, small jam-makers in Northern Ontario is more important than the fundamental rights of Canadian workers to strike and fight for fair working conditions and decent wages.
Reading Time: 2 minutesObviously, students’ money shouldn’t be going towards something that they don’t support, but defunding OPIRG entirely isn’t the right way to go about it.
Reading Time: 2 minutesSeeing things move in your peripheral vision while you walk down a tunnel towards pitch black darkness is not my idea of a fun time.
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf Rachiq really believed that the needs of the student body come before those of one student, he would have broken his silence and offered his resignation and full cooperation earlier than he did.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe so-called “Page Runner” found in the Fulcrum’s latest feature, is none other than U of O president, Jacques Frémont. Frémont supposedly runs the page as a hobby of sorts and can frequently be found chuckling at his own memes at Board of Governors meetings.
Reading Time: 2 minutesUpon reaching out to Rivera for comment, the Tomato was told by her legal counsel that, “Ms. Rivera thought digging the tunnel would be a good floor bonding activity. Her intentions were innocent. If anything, she was doing those students a service, the manual labour helped some of them stave off the freshman fifteen.”
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe SFUO is like a boyfriend who asks for grocery money, only to turn around and buy $10,000 worth of fireworks.
Reading Time: 2 minutesIf we shelter kids from Big Mac commercials until they’re 17, and then thrust them into a consumerist culture as adults, they won’t know how to make healthy choices.
Reading Time: 2 minutesMidterms shouldn’t all be grouped together, as it’s regressive to students’ mental health and renders reading week pointless. The university should create mechanisms to spread out midterm exams and assessments, for students’ sake.
Reading Time: 2 minutesIt seems the seasonal hits have been provoking insanity in employees and some patrons of the mall, with employees wandering the concourse with ugly seasonal sweaters in hand, mumbling about the upcoming Christmas party and claiming they need to prepare for boxing day.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe kind of people that are complaining about this, are probably also the citizens that complain about kids these days growing up too fast. This is why your grandkids don’t visit, Jean.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe SFUO had no right to delete these comments. After all, this is not their personal Facebook page where they can just block whoever disagrees with them (@JimWatsonOttawa). At the end of the day, the people they disagree with are still people they represent.
Reading Time: 2 minutes I shouldn’t have to watch out to make sure I won’t get hit by Lance Armstrong everytime I leave my house.
Reading Time: 2 minutesI think there’s about 40,000 students who have a much better idea on how to spend that money. Perhaps the university could try offsetting tuition costs, or at least not raise tuition a month after finding out they have a surplus of $15 million.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThink of the scandal that has occurred just this semester, of the ongoing investigation, of the termination of the contract by the university. Essentially, the full-time undergraduate students paid the SFUO $4 million to get terminated.
Reading Time: 2 minutesThe Ottawa Citizen continues to miss the important discussion that needs to be had surrounding homeless shelters and affordable housing, instead choosing to focus on property value and crude complaints.
Reading Time: 2 minutesAfter the incident with the ByWard bear, I realized that there’s a greater need I can fill than just being a trophy, or figurehead so to speak, I want to help other bears.
Reading Time: 3 minutesOttawa has two universities and a college, which means there are plenty of students who, if they get politically engaged, can make a real difference and work as a powerful voting block. The student voice needs to be heard in this city, and the ballot box is a great way to do so.
Reading Time: 2 minutesAcademic decisions, like changing around your timetable or dropping a course are very personal choices, with the need for strong reasons behind it. A low rating on Rate My Professors may not necessarily be the best factor to consider.
