THE McMASTER STUDENTS UNION | APRIL 12, 2015 | KEY POINTS & UPDATES FROM SRA MEETINGS

MSU to Advocate Against MSAF Modifications Recently, McMaster University has decided to reduce the MSAF from 5 to 3 days and applicable assignments worth from 30% to 25%. There was a student initiated petition that garnered over 800 student signatures against this modification as many felt that there was a lack of consultation of students. The SRA members voted to advocate to McMaster University that these MSAF changes are not in the best interest of students and desire to see them brought back for further consultation.

LOOKING FORWARD April 19th - 10:00 AM The 2015-2016 MSU Budget will be presented at this meeting. The SRA will also be electing students to various SRA and MSU committees. Contact your SRA Rep or the MSU Speaker for more information about these opportunities. Also, motions voted at the General Assembly, including running a constitutional referendum to elect VPs at large, will be discussed.
