MUN Students Vote 93% in Favour to Adopt Student Refugee Program.
Memorial University students voted in favour of adopting a $2/semester levy to sponsor a student refugee at Memorial University. Sponsorship of the student refugee will be organized by the World University Services of Canada.
3142 students voted in the referendum, roughly 30% of eligible voters, with 2,923 voting in favour of the program.
In reaction to the referendum, Liam O’Neill, Director of External Affairs, Communications, and Research with MUNSU said, “We are glad that the referendum ran smoothly, thanks to our Chief Returning Officer, and that the students who took the initiative to create change on campus got the result they were looking for. Their hard work paid off.”
MUNSU represents 13,000 undergraduate students at Memorial University of Newfoundland – St. John’s Campus.
