U of R evicts students' union from campus spaces
Lazy Owl bar and restaurant also closed until further notice
I believe the students paid for the student union building, but the money they raised and now they’re being kicked out but disgusting people. These are the university like what the heck is wrong with them if anything, the people who kicked them out should be checked out

I suggest you look into what lead to this before blaming the university. The university has the students’ interests in mind with this. URSU in its current form is full of corrupt, misogynistic, homophobic individuals who have run things into the ground (including the Owl), tried to push out groups who don’t align with their narrow views, bullied students who opposed them…
Before this they tried, and failed, to get an injunction forcing the university to hand over student fees. The judge denied it, in part, because URSU refuses to be transparent about their financial troubles and refuses to work with the university to rectify them. My guess is they don’t want anyone else looking at their books. They are either incredibly incompetent or entirely corrupt (general consensus among those I’ve spoken to about it is that they are both…).
This is what is best for the students and, I would guess, what most students want. Hopefully this pushes the student body to be more involved in the future, and URSU to be more transparent.
