When University of Regina students vote Wednesday afternoon on whether to dissolve its students’ union, URSU, they will only be able to do so online.
The special general meeting was set to be held in person and virtually, but social media posts from URSU said there were venue cancellations, and it was moved to a virtual-only meeting, with current fee-paying university students the only ones allowed to attend.
The students will vote on a motion to dissolve the organization and bring in a liquidator to oversee the process and do a final review.

URSU has been under fire for months around frustrations over how it was treating other student organizations on campus, allegations it was withholding student funds, and concerns over its own financial situation.
Eventually, the university itself cut ties, ending its fee-sharing agreement with the students’ union and ending its leases.
The Regina Police Service recently confirmed that it has an ongoing investigation into URSU.
There is a clause in the resolution that, if it passes, the union’s board members, executives, management and staff would be released from liability related to the union’s operations and dissolution “provided actions are taken in good faith reliance on this resolution, and legal advice.”
According to a notice about the original meeting, no amendments, substitutions or other motions would be accepted.
Two-thirds of those in attendance would need to approve the resolution for it to pass.
