On June 6, Algoma University’s Senate voted overwhelmingly to overturn the Board of Governor’s decision to pause enrolment in 5 programs for next fall. This followed a rally at the Sault Ste. Marie Museum.
YUFA Senators are encouraged to vote against any policy that claims to give the administration (as opposed to Senate) the power to suspend program admissions and to vote down any proposals that reduce or eliminate the powers of Senate.
