The University of Western Ontario is clashing with its staff and faculty unions about whether the shuttle-bus service being offered to students is approved by the striking transit union.
UWO’s staff and faculty unions oppose the university’s shuttle-bus service during the city-wide transit strike, calling it a “strike-breaking activity.”
The Amalgamated Transit Union (ATU) Local 741 has been on strike since last Nov. 16 after negotiations with the London Transit Commission (LTC) fell through.
McGill University’s anti-abortion group has had its rights as a club suspended by the university’s student council.
Student Society of McGill University (SSMU) voted 16-7 in favour of suspending the rights of the Choose Life club because of the club’s promotion methods, said SSMU president Ivan Neilson.
“The club was violating policies on equity oppression and they needed to be brought back to a more reasonable approach in their choice of displays,” Neilson said.
Students at the University of Waterloo recently voted against paying a student levy to keep the campus radio station, 100.3 Sound FM, on air.
This year, students paid $2.50 in their tuition fees to support the station.
Station president Steve Krysak said he thinks a major factor involved in the loss was that people were not informed.
“A lot of people didn’t know there was a vote,” Krysak said. “Less than 5,000 people voted in a school of 24,000, making 455 votes the deciding factor.”
The Toronto Transit Commission approved a new student discount on Nov. 17, applicable to all post-secondary students.

A new club on campus offers students stressing over upcoming exams a new alternative to the traditional food-, drink- and drug-based methods of relaxation: meditation.
“Meditation is like learning guitar — everyone has the capability, they just don’t know how to use it,” said Espoir Manirambona, the founder of Carleton’s new transcendental meditation (TM) club.
Originating in India, TM is a specific form of meditation based on mantra.
