U of A threatens to evict Pembina Hall residents
Pembina Hall is a graduate student residence at the University of Alberta.
Normally, of course, one could chat about this on the U of A SU Webboard - but "Pursuant to a directive from the Executive Committee of the Students' Union, the Webboard is temporarily closed." No rationale is given for this action. However, rumour has it that the SU Executive Committee has obtained a legal opinion advising them to do so.

I'm betting that a similar legal opinion has probably not been obtained by the self-proclaimed new Council of the Kwantlen Student Association, which recently shut down their webboard immediately after evicting the old Council and changing the locks. The old Council, which considers itself still in power as the report of the Chief Returning Officer reports that most of the new Council were disqualified for various electoral infractions, recently held a meeting in the KSA Lounge. Legal actions are proceeding quickly, and a court date has been set for this Thursday.

In other news, the Embassey Students' Association, a religious club at the University of Waterloo, was dissolved (or more accurately, no longer recognized or funded) by the UW Federation of Students. Although relations between both organizations have been frosty in recent times, the dissolution took place due to the Association's incurring debt.
