ALT Coming up on April 4th, Navigating Transness! This MUNSU Intersections Event centres navigating different aspects of transitioning, including access to gender affirming care, using health insurance, change of name/gender marker, and more. It will be in April 4th, from 1-3pm in Chem 2024.
ALT Last week, the MUNSU executive sent a formal request to President Vianne Timmons to call a special meeting of the university Senate before the January 30 deadline for job action. This request was denied. The nature of this request was to raise a motion to grant academic amnesty to all students who would refuse to cross a picket line to attend their non-MUNFA classes in the event of job action. Furthermore, MUNSU’s student senators wanted it pre-approved that at the end of job action, students would see an extension in deadlines to drop courses without academic prejudice, as well as a commitment to tuition and housing refunds for all who needed them. Section IV of the Senate Handbook of By-laws and Procedures state that a special meeting may be called by the chair and so this was well within President Timmons abilities to do at any time. As operations of the Senate were to be ceased upon the commencement of job action, it was essential to have this meeting before the strike deadline.
ALT the hands of the administration and have been made to cause division, fear-mongering, and break solidarity. This statement aims to make it clear that it is not working. In response to Dr. Neil Bose’s statements to the media that discussions of what will happen for students who do not cross the picket line will occur following the strike, this is not good enough. The academic and financial status of students cannot be held in indefinite limbo in an attempt to intimidate members into strike-busting. These are disgusting scare tactics and our members are being used as tools. The administration is increasing the stress, workloads, and expectations of students, per-course instructors, and staff, in an attempt to turn them against MUNFA. We stand strong. MUNSU would like to reiterate from our letter last week to Dr. Bose that students being forced to cross the picket line does not equate to the student body standing with the University during this dispute. Students and faculty are united,
