Earlier this afternoon, URSU received notice from the President and Vice-Chancellor of the University of Regina Dr. Jeff Keshen indicating that the Fee Collection Agreement between the University of Regina and URSU has been terminated due to concerns about URSU’s finances and governance. This means that URSU fees would no longer be collected after the Spring/Summer 2025 semester and student representation on campus would cease to exist.
URSU has been engaged in discussion with the University of Regina on strategies to resolve these issues and we recognize the legitimacy of their concerns. Our hope was and still is to negotiate a resolution with the University of Regina that restores confidence to the student body and our partners on campus while ensuring the independence of student governance. We are still investigating our options to respond to the notice and have no further comment at this time.
For the time being, URSU is continuing to deliver services as usual.
We understand that students may have concerns about this action and if they have any questions, please contact president@ursu.ca.
