From what I read:PwarYuex said:Could you just clarify for us (maybe just me?) what's happening with SAM?
The email above implies that SAM will be closing down -- is this only with relation to the already-forecasted SAM-MUSC-MUSA blending, or is it serious?
Haha, I do that so much... Once I posted a massive post in the wrong unit discussion forum on WebCT.iambored said:yeah sorry guys, posted it in the wrong thread, must've had too many windows open
Oh cool. Just freaked me out for a second... I really dislike it when public notices aren't to-the-point:asy said:From what I read:
a) Uni was going to liquidate it anyway, BUT
b) V Ma tried to dodgy before it could 'close up'
c) Court injunction stopped anything from happening, liquidating AND transfer of funds
d) Now that everythings been settled, a is back in process

I'm not 100% sure I understand it, but it's not sounding so good. Will a student union still exist? If we have a "company", how uni-run will it be?But as both student organisations are in liquidation, the way is clear for the university to create a new company to run student activities, catering, sports and shops on campus.
The new structure means the end of student politics at Macquarie University.
The company will be managed by the university, and the students sitting on the board will be appointed by the university.
Hunny, SAM, MUSC, and MUSA were merging anyway.glitterfairy said:I'm not 100% sure I understand it, but it's not sounding so good. Will a student union still exist? If we have a "company", how uni-run will it be?
Oh V Ma... could you have screwed things up any worse?
I wonder if it means that the uni will just figuratively 'appoint' reps (like the Prime Minister is appointed after he's elected in as Minister for X), or if it literally means that the uni will chose and appoint students from scratch.and the students sitting on the board will be appointed by the university.
But 'merging' and 'company' sound completely different :/ (or maybe it's just my bad for reading the herald?)PwarYuex said:Hunny, SAM, MUSC, and MUSA were merging anyway.
The union will exist as part of the new entity.
Hopefully it's entirely uni-run - MQ students are obviously incapable of running something... Voting in Victor as MUSC councillor after he was dragged through the dog-pile was the best winrar evar. [/sped]
But, according to the article which Ben posted, there will be student reps. Ironically, the uni students don't actually want to be represented (think Malaysia, only no floods...), so there'll probably be a default win like Academic Senate and (now) MUSC. :rofl:
I do like the sound of this, though:
