From this week's edition

Excerpt from the end of the editorial in the latest issue of The Fulcrum, regarding the SAC appeal:

"The overzealous taunting, signs reading “face it… you lost” and “face it… you cheated” used to intimidate those involved in the appeal, verbal attacks on witnesses and other individuals in the room, and the judgements levied on individuals’ decisions to support or not support a side in the appeal were closed-minded and shameful, flying in the face of the mantras of positive space and anti-oppression upheld by the SFUO.

Ultimately, the deplorable actions taken by students at the SAC hearing have struck at the very heart of the SFUO’s statement
of principles: “to regroup all undergraduate students of the University of Ottawa in a democratic and cooperative organization
where we can advance our own interests and those of our community”. This value is more important than the ambitions of any
student politicians and far more significant than this appeal—which will certainly not disappear despite these events"

Friday the Thirteenth

...is the date of the emergency BOA meeting, at 5pm in the Senate room (basement of Tabaret, follow the gong). I think it will inevitably be the most controversial and conflict of interest-filled meeting yet. Be there or don't, but you know we'll be there reporting on it.

I woke up with this in my inbox.
