As of last Thursday night, the unofficial results of the 2010 UWSA general election are in.  Pending ratification at this week’s council meeting, Laine McGarragle will be the new president, Jaideep Singh the vice-president finance, Andrew Bell the vice-president administration, and Robert Woodrich, for a second term, the vice-president university administration.
McGarragle is honoured with the victory, and is looking forward to starting her term.
“I am honoured to have won the election and I am eager to begin serving students as President of the UWSA. Throughout the election process, I have been overwhelmed with support and have been encouraged by the genuine interest that our student body has towards the affairs of our student alliance,” she said. >>

Wrath of Khan could be over much sooner than expected

After a dodgy few weeks in his role as president of the UWSA, Mohsin Khan may finally be facing impeachment.
An e-mail was distributed between members of council late on Sunday night that explained the situation. Impeachment is part of the UWSA by-law 10, part four, section seven, and requires three-quarters of councillors to vote in favour to pass.
Should a motion be put forward, it will take place at the UWSA’s annual general meeting next week, on Mar. 25. Proxy votes are not valid for the purpose of impeachment.
Khan recently came under fire for throwing a book at vice-president finance Aaron Campbell during a Board of Directors meeting in January. The action came as a result of Campbell jokingly proposing an extended length to the meeting. >>

Wildeman jump-started the meeting with a presentation which he hoped would give students a broad understanding of how the University of Windsor works around their budget to best meet the needs of the students.
“The interests of students are essential to the decisions that we make. We need to make sure that we have communication lines that are there and people know that they are there. They need to know that these issues are being dealt with,” said Wildeman. >>
