There was tension in the air on Monday as the University of Ottawa’s Board of Governors met to discuss the recent events at the University. Topics included the PSUO-SSUO new collective agreement negotiations, racism on campus with new alleged incidents this past weekend, and the approval of a new 2020-21 budget.
“As student representatives to the Board of Governors of the University of Ottawa, we want to express our disappointment with the response of the University and many members of our community to the recent racist events occurring on campus,” write Jamie Ghossein & Saada Hussen the undergraduate student representatives on the University of Ottawa’s Board of Governors.
The University of Ottawa’s administration will email 615 ballots to undergraduate students who previously did not receive a ballot to vote in the BOG undergraduate student representative election and partial U of O Senate elections that took place on June 2 to 4.
Editorial: As the independent news outlet of the university, we do our best to hold the U of O administration and UOSU accountable, but we need students to stand behind us – that includes voting.
The results are in here are the winners and losers of the BOG election and partial U of O Senate elections.
We’re interviewing candidates for the upcoming University of Ottawa Board of Governors’ elections for undergraduate student representative which will take place from June 2-4. Here’s why incumbent Saada Hussen believes she deserves your vote.
The letter highlights a series of recommendations for a new student union: a constitution that can only be amended at an annual General Assembly with a majority vote, elections managed by an independent third party, a model of governance which includes mechanisms for punitive action should trust be breached, and accountability to its membership.
