Bring Down the Board of Governors Rally

admin April 8, 2015

Bring Down the BOG @ 12:30 pm UC Courtyard on April 16th

The Board of Governors is the highest decision making body at the University of Guelph. On April 16th they will meet to decide the fate of your programs and tuition fees.

If we allow this meeting to go on unchallenged, we will see tuition hikes in the realm of $200-$300 and $10 million in program cuts.

We’ll be meeting at the UC Courtyard at 1:00 and heading to the BOG meeting together for 1:30 pm. If you’re interested in coming please email univsec@uoguelph.ca with a request to attend the meeting.

Can’t attend?? Email them anyway to let them know that students want to be involved in the process! The more requests, the better the effect! Let the Board of Governors know that we refuse to Pay More and Get Less!!!

OPIRG Guelph is located on the ancestral lands of the Attawandaron/Chonnonton, the Anishinaabe, and Haudenosaunee peoples and the treaty lands and territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit. We recognize the significance of the Dish with One Spoon Covenant to this land and offer our respect and gratitude to all of the Indigenous peoples of Turtle Island who have stewarded, loved & defended this land for centuries.

In stating this, we acknowledge that we are here as a result of blood that has been shed through colonization, which continues to be the lived experience of Indigenous communities across Turtle Island. Colonialism is a current ongoing process, and we need to be accountable for our present participation in that process.
