Dear students,
We are pleased to report that a new 5-year Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) was signed yesterday between the SSMU and McGill. This MoA was reached pursuant to months of discussions and negotiations. While this process was not always easy, we reached a positive outcome that will stand to benefit all students through collaboration and compromise on both sides.
With this new MoA, McGill and the SSMU alike reaffirm our commitment to working for the benefit of all students we represent in a principled, rigorous, and equitable manner. Although the SSMU and McGill are distinct organizations and have had our differences, we have a shared interest in building social cohesion and trust across our campus and in working to ensure that McGill is a place where community can be fostered and that all students can flourish academically and personally.
Moving forward, the SSMU and McGill will continue our conversations, notably in relation to a new space agreement for the University Centre, which we hope will bring in more local food options to our downtown campus.
Best regards,
Angela Campbell
Interim Deputy Provost, Student Life & Learning, McGill University
Dymetri Taylor
President, SSMU
