Concordia Student Union is taking the Canadian Federation of Students to court. A motion will be filed Thursday asking the CFS to recognize the CSU as no longer a member.
Students overwhelmingly voted to leave in a referendum last year. However, the CFS refused to recognize the vote due to unpaid fees.
Previous CSU president Keyana Kashfi signed an acknowledgement agreement in 2009. She was agreeing to pay over a million dollars in fees. Thursday’s motion will also ask for that to be declared null and void because she signed without consulting the council.
The CSU is also asking for punitive damages of one-hundred-thousand dollars due to a violation of its right to disassociate.
