The 39th general election that will occur four days from now was called because a sufficient number of Canadians stood up for change. Disgusted by the way the country was being governed, Members of Parliament exercised their democratic right and passed a non-confidence vote that forced an election.

The sexual harassment complaint that shocked the Trinity Western University campus last October may be settled, but tremors are still being felt. Following President Snider’s return from leave on December 5, the Trinity Western University Student Association Senate has recommended that TWUSA take certain courses of action—one of which would be to “implement a process towards the election of a student, faculty and alumni representative to the Board.”

The Senate, a four-person advisory board of past TWUSA Presidents and Vice-Presidents, explained its recommendations to TWUSA President James Moes in the form of a letter which was carbon-copied to the Board of Governors and President’s Cabinet, as well as other members of the TWU community.
