Star Phoenix: U of S board of governors grilled on housing, recent labour strife
Students, student representatives and union workers quizzed the University of Saskatchewan board of governors Friday at the board’s annual public accountability meeting.
The meeting, only the second of its kind at the U of S, drew a large, sometimes emotional, crowd with questions that ranged from how the board plans to tackle the lack of off-campus housing to how the university plans to repair relations with the labour force following a strike by support staff this winter.
A member of the Canadian Union of Public Employees expressed his frustration at not having a voice on the board of governors, which has representatives for both faculty and students. U of- president Peter MacKinnon said he plans to hold discussions in the next few months about the labour environment on campus.
