Not all students took to the streets

There was no line at the Tim Hortons in the Hall building. There were three people to an elevator in the MB. Something was missing at Concordia on Nov. 10, and their absence did not go unnoticed. Nov. 10 marked the student “Day of Action” organized to show disagreement with rising tuition fees in Quebec. Concordia students took to the streets in protest Thursday, marching in solidarity with students from other Quebec CEGEPs and universities.

Winter of discontent for Quebec students

Over 100,000 post-secondary students in Quebec have a one-day strike mandate to protest tuition fee hikes on Nov. 10, while thousands more will vote on approving one in the next few days. It’s the latest action by a student movement whose protests have sometimes resulted in the occupation of government offices, and devolved into injuries- and tear gas-laced clashes with riot police.

Concordia Senate passes academic plan

Concordia’s five-year academic plan was passed in a secret ballot held during a divisive senate meeting last Friday afternoon. Despite being rejected unanimously in a symbolic motion by the CSU council last week, the revised 2011-2016 academic plan was adopted in a vote of 26 to 19. Tension ran high as the students who sit on senate wanted to delay the plan until next year. CSU president Lex Gill voiced her concerns about rushing the multi-million dollar plan being put into motion without the endorsement of the students.

Elevator breakdown in Hall building grounds 20 people

An elevator stoppage in the Hall building left around 20 people hanging for approximately 20 minutes on Monday morning. Psychology and geography student Victoria Curl had stepped into the descending elevator on the ground floor of the building around 10 a.m. on Monday morning while on her way to class. Curl said they had descended a few feet when the elevator jolted to a stop. “There was this crashing, and all this stuff came down from the ceiling, like dust,” she said. “So we were stuck there. We called the security guy and he said he would send someone, so we waited for half an hour.” The elevator was stuck between the ground floor and the basement, having been boarded with people on the ground floor before heading downwards. The drop was only a few feet, according to Curl, but “you still felt like you were crashing.”
