Union leadership at URSU arranges a unique gathering for the purpose of voting on the prospect of union disbandment

The University of Regina Students' Union (URSU) is scheduled to hold a special meeting on September 24, 20XX, at The Atlas Hotel, with a crucial vote on the agenda. The meeting follows a series of conflicts between URSU and the University of Regina (U of R) that have led to the termination of the main lease agreement in early August.

URSU, which represents approximately 16,000 students at the U of R, is currently under investigation for possible misappropriation of funds. The university has lost confidence in URSU's ability to serve and represent students due to these ongoing issues.

The purpose of the meeting is to vote on a "special resolution" that could lead to the dissolution of URSU. Approval by at least two-thirds of votes cast is required for the resolution to pass. If the resolution is approved, the dissolution of URSU will be decided based on the "special resolution" vote under The Non-Profit Corporations Act 2022 and URSU bylaws.

At the special meeting, students paying fees at the University of Regina will be eligible to vote on the motion to dissolve URSU. The outcome of the vote could potentially lead to the cease to exist of URSU, marking a significant change in student representation at the institution.

However, the search results do not contain information about who will hold the special session, leaving the identity of the chairperson or moderator for the meeting unclear. The university has not yet disclosed further details about the special meeting, but the potential dissolution of URSU is a topic of much discussion and concern among students and staff at the University of Regina.

As the situation unfolds, students and the wider community will be watching closely to see how the vote on the "special resolution" will impact the future of URSU and student representation at the University of Regina.
