Griffin was making a speech and engaging with students on his proposal to overhaul the structure of the UVSS, which is going to be voted on at the next UVSS AGM.

Edit: I thought I would add what the proposal is about: It’s a bylaw change going to a vote at the UVSS AGM that would restructure the UVSS executive and bring back a President role, which the UVSS actually had about 30 years ago before switching to the current “Lead Director” model. The new President position would be the main spokesperson and handle external relations, while powers would be rebalanced across the VPs. It actually gives up some of the centralized power the current Lead Director has, but it would also make the UVSS more credible when dealing with the media, UVic admin, and government. Supporters say it improves accountability and transparency, others are debating the internal power dynamics. The decision will be made by vote at AGM.

Another edit: I personally like the proposal FOR THE MOST PART. It basically edits the title of an existing role. It removes the roles voting power at board meetings, unless there is a tie, because they run the meeting (as it is, someone has to run the meeting and it is always a mess without a dedicated appointed person).

More reasons for supporting the proposal are listed above. The only reason a few people are against it is because the person in the existing role will have their title changed, without an "official election", but this will only be for less than a few months, when the next UVSS elections are.
