Due to construction on the Centre for Engineering Innovation (CEI), students will soon no longer be able to park in parking lot FF, located on the corner of Wyandotte Street and California Avenue.
 No new lots will be set up for students, but parking services manager Laurie Butler-Grondin encourages students to utilize the parking that already exists and is under-used.
“You will still find plenty of on-campus parking available in lot V, located at Sunset and Union Streets, lot Z, at California and Union, and lots G, H, and U just off College Avenue,” she said.
The lot will no longer be available within a few weeks, and students will have visual aids in the lot to notify them when this time comes.
“Signs will soon be going up at the lot FF site to inform students of its imminent closure and we will have further directional signs along Sunset to guide students to additional parking,” said Lori Lewis, a spokesperson for the university. >> |
Bylaws changed at marathon council meeting

Last week’s UWSA council meeting ran over four hours in length, and most of that time was devoted to discussing changes to a few bylaws.
As Patrick Lalonde, chair of internal policy committee explains, this is just a step in a multi-month process.
Bylaw changes involves a multi-month process as prescribed within our Constitution. First, we had to ask permission from UWSA Council to change the policies, which we received. Second, we had to develop and approve our changes in principle in committee, which we did. Third, we had to get approval in principle for the changes from UWSA council in order to forward them to UWSA legal counsel for review,” he said.
This permission was granted by council at the most recent meeting, and if it passes legal counsel’s review, it will then return to council once again for a final approval on Dec. 3, which Lalonde is confident about due to “overwhelming initial support by council.”
He encourages any students to attend the meeting for final approval.>>

UWindsor students need to know their rights

Every student at this University is, or should be, aware of his or her basic rights and freedoms, including the right to free speech, right to practice religion freely, the right to peaceful assembly, the right to an unbiased trial and so on.
It might come as a shock to know that very few among us are fully aware of our rights as students at the University of Windsor.
Many students do not know that they have the right to appeal a grade, or that a $20 fee accompanies it. Many students are unaware how may exams they are allowed to have scheduled for one day, or what their rights are concerning turnitin.com.
For the next four weeks, we will be writing a series of articles to inform students of some of their rights and help point them in the right direction so that they can be well-informed.
To start, the first thing you need to know is that your rights as a student are enshrined in the Senate Bylaws and Policies. >>
