CSU to decide on whether to break their laws for the CFC

The Concordia Student Union has called a special meeting to discuss whether or not they will be breaking their own rules.

The Concordia Food Coalition (CFC) has requested to be included on the CSU's by-election ballot to ask undergraduates to contribute a fee levy. According to CSU Standing Regulation 138, non-CSU groups seeking a new fee levy must apply for review at least two months before the first day of the nomination period of the Fall by-elections. They must also present a petition backed by at least seven hundred and fifty undergrads, as well as the group's constitution. 

VP Academic Gene Morrow said he was only approached by the CFC in late September. Morrow told the CFC to go before the council anyway, because they had collected nine hundred and seventy signatures on their petition. 

Some councillors agreed that the display of student support should be enough, while others believe that the regulations are in place for a reason, and should be followed.
