Student engagement took center stage during the March 3rd Trent Central Student Association (TCSA) Board of Directors meetings, with Directors sharing their concerns of falling attendance rates, both within the student body and the Board of Directors itself.
The February 11th Trent Central Student Association Board of Directors meeting saw multiple heated discussions, and the announcement of new measures, from $12,000 of funding for Sadleir House put up for referendum, to by-law amendments simplifying the TCSA’s internal impeachment processes.
In the TCSA's first board meeting of the second semester and the new calendar year, the Association outlined plans for the remainder of the operating year and upcoming Spring Elections. Significantly, Arthur learned that the longstanding plans for a Student Staff union have reportedly fallen through, leaving the future of students employed by Trent's housing department uncertain.
Issue 2 takes on the dichotomy that is Head of The Trent with two long-form articles discussing the impacts on the community from the perspective of Indigenous students and staff and a rollicking piece about the forgotten raison d'être for the whole event which fell on National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Evan Robins debuts the first two parts of a series on Peter Robinson College 20 years after its sale. All this alongside community, City Hall, and campus news from the TCSA.
With Issue 7 we bring an end to the 58th volume of this fair publication and what a year it was! This edition includes the culmination of a month's long investigation into the working conditions of dons at Trent alongside local news, arts, and events coverage. In addition, we mark the hallowed return of Alfred for the second year running. Newsflash: We've gotten worse. Reader discretion is strongly advised!
All three of Arthur's editors are back in one room again as they discuss the Trent Central Student Association's new strategic plan, Trent's Board of Governors' response to Head of the Trent. Spoiler alert: Its sucked.
