Take our nose out of your textbook for a minute to find out what’s going on outside of the exam craze.

It seems that everyone is pissed off at the UTSU. A lot went down at their Annual General Meeting on November 19th. For one, the college councils have a few issues, which you can read the details of here. Furthermore, the meeting started 45 minutes late and ended 3 hours late, because students from UTM were delayed by traffic, meaning that people who planned to leave on time were left out. The Varsity has the rest of the details along with a giant list of comments.

The French Club (EFUT) is disappointed that they won’t find out whether or not they will receive funding from the UTSU until January because they didn’t submit a list of their members with their funding application. This list need to include the names, students numbers, and enrolment statuses of each member, which the EFUT says violates the Freedom of Information and Protection of Privacy Act. The executives have already spent $1,000 paying for events out of their own pockets. Sounds similar to something that happened to us at blogUT >_>

Some interdisciplinary programs may be on the chopping block unless colleges provide sufficiently convincing reviews to the Faculty of Arts and Science.

The Admissions and Awards building has moved to 172 St. George Street, a building U of T bought in 2008.

To end on a happy note (unless you are graduating this year, in which case this does not apply to you), the TTC has extended the Metropass discount to all post-secondary students. This means that you can buy the pass for $99, which is $12 less than it would be.
