These two candidates want the opportunity to handle your money as VP Finance. Stéphanie Beauregard (Concordia Could Be) and Keny Toto (A Better Concordia) want your vote March 20-22 to be the next CSU VP Finance. Listen to interviews below:

The Concordia Student Union’s first day of striking was marked by a peaceful march and menacing class interruptions.

Students protested peacefully outside Concordia’s downtown campus as well as in front of Premier Jean Charest’s office.  According to CJAD some lectures inside were marred by a dozen strikers shouting and blowing vuvuzelas.

Just over 1500 members of the CSU voted in favor of a one-week strike against rising tuition rates.  That strike mandate is set to end March 22nd.

CSU VP External Chad Walcott said that the university’s administration should expect a possible visit from protestors  in  coming days.

In this instalment of the CSU Elections Interview Series, Jordie Yeager talks to Alexis Suzuki and Lina Saigol, the candidates for VP Student Life, about their plans if they're elected.

The 2011/2012 Concordia Student held their final council meeting Wednesday night. While there was plenty of drama, little action was made.

Council revisited whether they want to sign a minimum agreement, which would bind the CSU with the province-wide strike movement. This motion was shot down in a very close vote.

Meanwhile, two members of the CSU Judicial Board aired grievances about eachother in a heated back and forth. The public battle was too much for board member Nadim Kobeissi who chose to resign following the verbal battle.

There was no discussion on the status of CSU election candidates Schubert Laforest and Lucia Gallardo who were disqualified from the race for allegedly not being registered students. A Judicial Board meeting to be held Friday will determine the fate of the two CSU hopefuls.
