The University of Ottawa (UOSU) held its Board of Directors meeting on July 23, the fourth of the term. The seven-hour meeting included a student statement, the establishment of a communications commissioner, and a debate on the controversial freedom of expression motion.
A lack of candidates means that the three candidates running in the UOSU by-election will seek a vote of approval from their peers… Harneet Cheema, Chloe Bergeron and Sana Almansour are running for University Senate, UOSU BOD and UOSU equity commissioner respectively.
Students have not been able to access any public documents pertaining to the UOSU’s 2021-22 Board of Directors (BOD). This includes meeting minutes, subcommittee minutes and Executive Committee members’ reports which were public in the Union’s first two years of existence on its Google Drive. Why?
The UOSU called a by-election on Sept. 12 for an Oct. 12-14 voting period. The by-election will seek to fill vacant positions on the University Senate as well as UOSU’s Board of Directors (BOD) and Executive Committee. The seats remain vacant due to a lack of candidates in the general election held in March of 2021.
