URSU General Election to be held March 17 and 18
Hannah Tait versus Amir Said
After what can only be described as a tumultuous year, the University of Regina’s Student Union, or URSU, is preparing for another general election. Only two presidential candidates have been nominated this year: current URSU Vice-President of External Affairs, Amir Said, and former chair of URSU’s HR committee, Hannah Tait. Both candidates agreed to be interviewed by the Carillon regarding their platforms and the elections. What follows is a breakdown of each platform in their own words during their respective interviews.
Said, who has been the URSU’s Vice-President External Affairs since October 2020, whose interview was conducted via text, stated that his platform, “[I]s centered around continued advocacy for students on important issues, increase financial and academic support for students, stronger diversity and student representation within the organization, more student employment opportunities, and improved transparency and communication within the organization and with student members.”
