UOSU ballot box

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.

Two candidates for the UOSU executive team are running uncontested; Rayne Daprato for Student Life Commissioner (Daprato has held the role in an interim capacity since May) and Tristan Maldonado-Rodriguez for Francophone Affairs Commissioner. Here are their insights on the roles they hope to fill.

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.

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.
