WE NEED YOUR INPUT!
At the 2017 UWSA Special General Meeting (SGM), a motion was passed to get feedback from students about changing the title of the Status of Women Director. The interim title is Women, Trans, and Non-Binary Students’ Director while we explore other options.
At the SGM, it was concluded that the ‘Status of Women Director’ title and qualification (‘to be a woman or self-identified woman’) excluded trans and non-binary people.
We need your suggestions regarding what the title of the ‘Status of Women Director’ be changed to and why!
There are suggestion boxes in the Women-Trans Spectrum Centre and the Rainbow Lounge where you can anonymously submit suggestions. You can also e-mail your VPEA, Zee at vpea@theuwsa.ca!
We will also host open conversation sessions at The Hive in November to review and discuss the contents of this suggestion box. Your feedback will help us prepare a motion for UWSA’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) in March.
Please contact your VPEA Zee Morales at vpea@theuwsa.ca with questions. Thank you for your suggestions!
