MONTHLY RELEASE
“School administration has truly become like civil service now. They give you runaround and runaround and runaround and it is as if they’ve lost the capacity to solve problems (main job) and they caught up in the bureaucracy so much that they forget that their job is to solve problems creatively. All they do is add on more processes and procedures unnecessarily to get you frustrated.”
“I would like to thank my team for their amazing work and support during this crazy tenure. Tyla Walkes, Divedi Ramdass, I wish you two the best in all your future endeavors. The publications committee came back with a bang!”
Say it with your [ch]est

AS GOOD AS GONE. FEATURED STORY
The president? Good as gone. The funds? As good as gone. The tenure? As good as gone. As the 2021/2022 tenure comes to an unfortunate close, many questions which have presumably fallen on deaf ears are still left unanswered. For several months now, councilors who had used their personal funds to pay for various initiatives have still not been reimbursed. After a number of follow-up requests were sent to the relevant administrative bodies, the council was informed that the task of processing outstanding requests for funds fell on the office manager of the Guild. Many councilors, after being notified, redirected requests to the office manager in hopes of swift transactions and reliable communication. What was received however, was an email notice of the manager taking leave/vacation. This move came across as a slap in the face for many councilors since the office manager, from time to time, had been actively neglecting
some of her duties to the council. Interestingly enough, it was noticed that the office manager had been in constant contact with the recently resigned president, Mr. Kyle Holder-Leach. Whatever the case may be, the council hopes that it is for the right reasons, rather than the wrong ones as seen in the past. The constant and obvious runaround for funds frustrating the councilors is at this point seen as nothing more than campus
administrations’ way of rubbing salt in the wound for the sins of the resigned president. These administrative entities are clearly unwilling to help resolve financial issues and the council would like to apologize to the countless students who are still owed various forms of welfare. The outgoing council does hope however, that the incoming council gains the respect and autonomy from the campus that it rightfully deserves as the student government. Godspeed.
