What?
Wasn’t the fee thing for commerce students?
It turns out that Arts students also get to vote on a -smaller- fee for a building.
Why don’t we know about it? Check the UBC Insiders post. It feels like the failure of the AUS this year went far beyond a sucky Arts Week.
And, honestly, how many people are going to vote in the $60,000 elections? 1500? It sounds unlikely.
When I came to UBC one of the first promises I heard from Dean Gallini was that of a new space for Arts Students. It sounds great, it looks great. But it won’t happen.
:(
At least we now know 60 000 also covers the new arts week disguised as elections week (with all the events)
