Counter petition circulates
A group of Carleton students are circulating a petition pledging support for Carleton University Students’ Association’s (CUSA) continued membership in the Canadian Federation of Students (CFS). The campaign is in response to a disaffiliation petition launched Sept. 14 that, if successful, would lead to a referendum over whether CUSA remains a member of CFS.
CASG elections delayed a week
Elections for Carleton Academic Student Government (CASG) representatives, which were scheduled to begin Sept. 22, have been delayed a week.
CASG is a separate student government from the Carleton University Students’ Association, dealing mainly with the academic interests of the student body.
There are roughly 100 students who are elected as representatives to act as intermediaries between students, faculty and administration, and deal with academic, non-political issues concerning mainly undergraduate students.
