A Student Union Corrupt? Never!



A little blurb from the CSU Periodical Financial Report: (This is written by the current VP Financial)


I spent far too much time this year dealing with a stack of cheques left over from last year's administration that were far too shifty for my liking. Totalling several thousand dollars, these cheques were rather frighteningly created on the last three days of the previous administration's mandate, most unsigned. Many were donations to outside groups from the 2002-03 financial committee, however had no documentation or resolutions attached.


Whenever I say that there isn't much corruption in Canada, I often forget about our Universities. Silly me. While Concordia is of course reknown for this type of crap, other universities are not immune. When a student council is only elected for one year and has almost no chance of being re-elected the following year, then they are not responsible to their voters in any way. Its a bad system.
