An Update

Suffice it to say, much has changed since my last post.

University of Alberta Pembina Hall students were evicted from their residences only a few days after my previous post. Despite a strong student campaign to save the only residence reserved for graduate students, the building was vacated to make way for office space. However, due to delays in renovating the hall, the building sat empty as of January 2006.

Similarly, the University of Alberta Students' Union webboard has been restored - albeit with a "Terms of Use" documents that emphasizes the non-responsibility of the Students' Union for comments posted theirein. A "National Forum" for discussion on student issues nation-wide has been disabled, however.

The 2005 election fiasco at the Kwantlen Student Association had to be resolved by a court case, in which the court's decision gave the election to the "Reduce All Fees" party. But that story requires a whole post by itself.... (And no, they haven't yet restored their webboard.)

The Embassy continues to exist at the University of Waterloo; but as far as I can tell, the Federation of Students haven't reversed their decision to cease recognizing the Embassy Students' Association.

Sheldon Levy is clearly settling into his position as President of Ryerson University.
