The Unity slate won the CSU election held last week. It wasn't a close race — there wasn't even a second slate. Unity garnered 2,022 votes of 3,341 votes cast.
The executive is made up of president-elect Kayana Kashfi and vice-presidents Andre LeRoy Audy, Colin Goldfinch, Priscila Gomes, Elie Chivi, Natalie Mai, Jose Garcia and Samantha Roberts. They will take office June 1.
The Unity platform included online coursepacks, Concordia's push for sustainability in Montreal, fighting for increased funding for universities, an expanded Subsidized Tutoring Centre, a diverse concert and speaker series, a new computer lab at Loyola and cheaper Concordia gym passes. In order to encourage students to vote, prizes were offered to voters.
The Council, the judicial board and Board of Governors representatives were also elected. See elections.csu.qc.ca/ for all the winners.
The referendum in support of the expansion and renovation of Loyola's athletic complex passed with 2,243 of the 3,108 votes cast.
