A group of student leaders at Mount Allison say they are “fed up” with what they call “a consistent decline” in the services provided by Mount Allison’s student affairs department.
CHMA talks with two of the students, Isabella Gallant and Isabella Matchett, about their concerns, including empty food banks, high staff turnover and vacant positions, new resources that sit unapproved and unreleased by university administration, and a pattern of reactive policy-making.
“Our concern is that we feel the ball has been dropped on a lot of really important projects and resources,” says Gallant, who helped orchestrate a 32-page submission to the school’s Board of Regents from the group.
“I think every every person that wrote a letter is looking for something to be addressed with full transparency,” says Matchett, “and not with defensiveness.”
