Several members of the University of Manitoba Indigenous Students' Association (UMISA) have accused the recently-elected Your UMSU slate of “co-opting” Indigenous initiatives without giving proper credit to the Indigenous students and faculty who founded them.
Students, faculty and members of the university community gathered in mourning Monday, days after terror attacks in two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, took the lives of 50 Muslims.
A motion to close off UMSU selections committee meetings from public scrutiny failed by only a few votes Thursday after members expressed concern the changes would create a less transparent union.
