“Over the past several months, the University has tried to work with URSU leadership, offering financial and governance assistance.”

Steps were recommended but not taken after a review of the student union’s 2024 financial statement audit.

“The University has lost confidence in URSU’s ability to serve and represent the University’s students and has made the decision to terminate the agreement pursuant to which the University levies and collects student fees on behalf of URSU, effective August 31, 2025.”

Core services, along with fee collection, will continue until the Fall 2025 term.

“The necessary arrangements will be put in place over the coming months,” said the statement.
