Dear students,
We are pleased to report that a new 5-year Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed between the Students’ Society of ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University (SSMU) and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. This MoA was reached pursuant to months of discussions and negotiations. While this process was not always easy, we reached a positive outcome that will stand to benefit all students through collaboration and compromise on both sides.
With this new MoA, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ and the SSMU alike reaffirm our commitment to working for the benefit of all students we represent in a principled, rigorous, and equitable manner. Although the SSMU and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ are distinct organizations and have had our differences, we have a shared interest in building social cohesion and trust across our campus and in working to ensure that ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ is a place where community can be fostered and that all students can flourish academically and personally.
Moving forward, the SSMU and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ will continue our conversations, notably in relation to a new space agreement for the University Centre, which we hope will bring in more local food options to our downtown campus.
Best regards,
Angela Campbell
Interim Deputy Provost, Student Life & Learning, ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ University
