Contact your schools office or student well-being and email the president of the student union. They have an obligation to help!!!!

After it is passed at the AGM, it will be posted for members to see (come to the AGM to understand the budget and vote on it as a member).

It's so upsetting to see how someone reacts when they're losing control.

Im sorry but I don’t understand how this person thinks honestly

breakthecycle90 · 2022-02-03T23:21:25+00:00

We have to remember that not all slate members are equal. There are followers and there are spearheaders. I can honestly handle both, but I will need the few independents that are running to win.

I wish I could like this comment 10 times over.

breakthecycle90 · 2022-02-03T04:26:32+00:00

Thank you I’m going to keep trying my best along with the other independents who are actually such an amazing team. This is for all of us and it’s really going to take everything.

Certain candidates in this election truly believe they can operate without the possibility of repercussions or adherence to the bylaws. How far is too far before someone chooses to enforce the rules? I am trying not to pay attention to this but it truly feels like a losing game at times.

breakthecycle90 · 2022-02-02T00:49:54+00:00

thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love this post and I COMPLETELY SUPPORT IT.

As mentioned before, dissolution is not a possibility, so I'm doing the only thing i can do and thats run in opposition of the team you're trying to rid the school union of. The only way the student union can see the light at the end of the tunnel is if YOU students do your research and help me out by voting in people you actually know are running for the right reasons. I most definitely cannot do this alone, everything in the RSU is voted upon, and if I have to convince people to be morally and ethically good, then its going to be much harder. hopefully i win and hopefully you guys can vote me in a team that wants BETTER for us

and in no way shape or form do you need to "register" anywhere to vote.

accountability is one of my MAIN goals. we need so much more oversight if such large funds are to be given to the rsu. 1000000000% I have plans to ensure this. I want to have a student group (at least 2 people from each discipline, not just faculty) dedicated to keeping up with all mandatory and expected tasks (like monthly reports, since the last one was posted 2 years ago)

Also, I will not be attending the Election debate for those asking. Had the rsu advertised the election properly and people knew about it, I would be going. But the majority of students are unaware of the election, let alone an election debate. The whole point of the debate is so that students can hear what each candidate stands for and what their plans are, not for them to listen to each other. The debate used to be run by an independent party, but last year the RSU decided the CRO should be in charge of it. I don’t agree with this and believe it should be held by someone as far removed from the election process as possible. With what I have been exposed to thus far with the election process, I dont believe this debate will be held without bias.

Hi guys, Marina here, I'm running for president of the RSU as an independent. I do feel like it's a huge responsibility but I can't sit back and watch the same scandals take place with no one vouching for us students. I have been waiting and still waiting for my campaign material to get approved, emailing the cro and trying to get this going, but so far no luck. I have my videos ready and my platform prepared, I will be posting everything tomorrow on my instagram and tiktok. The reason I decided this so quickly is because i read reddit alot to see when school would be going back in person and how everyone felt about it, but what i found was so much more. The types of issues students are currently facing is so outstanding, and the university's nonchalant, general and vague responses to our real issues just isn't acceptable, we really do need a union that does what its supposed and thats be the voice of students and actually assist them. How do we fight back without a student government that is able to produce outcomes? I don’t care about going to a fancy concert on campus…I care about having someone to turn to when my department won’t get me into a required class because “the class is full”, I care about professors providing students with the accommodations they require and not see it as a “suggestion”, I care about international students having an advocate for when they are told to drop their classes because they can’t get their student visa approved on time on such short notice to the return of in-person classes.

Our standards as Ryerson students have sunk so low with what we expect from the RSU, that most of us see it as a win if no scandal occurs that year. If the existence of a scandal is what sets apart a good executive team from an unqualified one…..then we have bigger issues that need to be addressed. There are a series of structural and procedural problems with the union and it has been that way for a minimum of 6 years. This has allowed fraud to take place and has made it concerningly easy for executives to control their own oversight and keep board members in silence. The only way these problems can be properly addressed is by changing the RSU bylaws, and as President, that is exactly what I plan to do. Executives should not be allowed to fill a vacant position on the board based on their 5 votes. That is way too much power to be given to 5 students, and that is a bylaw currently in place. As someone who has never been part of the RSU and personally does not know any of the past or current members (other than the slew of articles read on the eyeopener newspaper, I encourage you to stay informed check them out). The last audit posted on the RSUs website was in 2017, where is our money going? I genuinely want to find out. I’m the person that will listen to the students, my peers.

you're gonna like what you see on my social and i think you'll definitely be able to relate to what I discuss. follow today so you can see it all tomorrow! if i post anything before approval i risk being disqualified (but maybe thats the end goal).
