‘Maverick’ returns to CUSA council
Former Carleton University Students’ Association (CUSA) science councillor, Donnie Northrup, who resigned after last year’s Shinerama controversy, regained a spot on council as a Faculty of Arts and Social Science (FASS) councillor.
Northrup, along with Graham Perrin and Heather Murley, last year’s Chief Electoral Officer for the CUSA elections, were acclaimed as FASS councillors by council at a June 25 CUSA meeting. All three seats remained vacant after the 2009 CUSA general election.
