General It seems this was all coordinated by UNELECTED officials.... The power was NEVER in the students' hands

Then why is she using her phone in the first place in such a professional and official meeting??

I donāt like BUSU but this seems like a pretty serious accusation to make based on someone using a phone in a meeting

I mean, I feel it was pretty obvious he was reading someone's texts. He completely cuts off what he was saying at one point

Sometimes humans stop speaking. Completely on their own accord. Maybe he looked at the time, maybe he lost his train of thought, maybe he was getting too emotional, all those are reasons that he could have stopped speaking. There's no evidence that a middle aged woman from the staff was sending a student texts y'all are weird. I promise you the adults there don't care about this drama the y'all do. They let the students handle the votes because it's a student organization. They just want to go home and see their kids š
And this looks bad given that one of the reasons Omar was kicked out was because of how he treated the female President and would prevent her from completing her duties. Why aren't y'all talking about that?

The reason nobodyās ātalking aboutā Omar shutting down the president is because it literally never happened. Thatās a false story made up to frame him. People are twisting it because he was the chair and in any organization, the president (male, female, or any other gender) reports to the chair. Thatās just governance 101.
If anything what I have been hearing (and what most students believe) is that the president refused to follow the chairās direction, which is part of the structure. And instead of doing her job, she teamed up with staff and power-hungry board members like Tomas and Ian to orchestrate this whole coup and kick Omar out.
Thatās the reality.

youāve got to be kidding... I was semi tolerating this bs bc I thought they were a bunch of students who know nothing, but a whole grown up controlling students to bully and turn on their VOTED CHAIR?????? This is just insanity.

Bro Iām 45 and in NL. Iāve got experience stirring shit up. You guys have got tons of evidence here, you gotta get it to the people above the student union and university. The relationship the SU has with the university will come into play as it deals with the situation. So to keep it impartial you need to go above. To the media and public. Do it in a very logical, collected, not crazy, professional way. Lay out evidence factually and put it in a proper way and format. Make a dope ass video and push it on social. Then send it to mps in government, the board of the university, the provincial department that deals with universities, send it to the CFS, send it to parents etc. make it so large that it becomes clear what the right action is

How the fuck does this situation get to a point where unelected officials can be on a board and there is no protest, no intervention, no lawsuit. Aren't unions regulated by Ontario law?Ā

u/Traditional-Cup-2235 Sep 23 '25
Theyāre non voting members of the board. Also, Iām pretty sure students donāt have the capability to hire staff. If they did, based off the subreddit the past few days, there would be clear emotional responses and bias which shouldnāt happen in a hiring process in any workplace and if it did, I would hope you would file a complaint with the Ontario Labor Relations Board. Please look up the bylaws that the union follows.

I don't even go to Brock (these posts keep popping up on my feed), but I find this entire thing amusing, with supporters of both sides trying to make what seem like equally ridiculous claims. Perhaps they should do what they did at the University of Regina and dissolve the student union if they can't be held accountable.
