Statement on the Upcoming CSU Referendum

The Concordia Student Union is holding their elections on March 25, 26, and 27. The ballot will include a referendum question asking whether future decisions about funding for groups like CJLO should be taken by the students of individual faculties rather than by the student body at large, which is currently the case.

Our Board of Directors and staff at CJLO are endorsing the "NO" campaign against this question. Check out the "NO" campaign's website and Facebook page for more information.

Here's the statement from the Board:
 

CJLO 1690AM, Concordia University's campus/community radio station, with the Concordia Student Broadcasting Corporation, recognize the important role that fee levy groups play on campus. By offering services and opportunities that the university doesn't offer, these non-profit corporations provide important resources to students, as well as training and employment opportunities to further prepare them for future job prospects. We urge all students to continue their support for these fee levy groups and what they offer to all students, and to continue to facilitate access to these services to their friends and classmates, regardless of faculty affiliation. On March 25th, 26th and 27th, vote NO to per-faculty fee levies and keep those services available to ALL students!
