SFU dissidents plot to oust student president

A former member of the Simon Fraser Student Society executive has told the Georgia Straight that he is part of a group examining the possibility of impeaching the student-society president, Shawn Hunsdale, and other directors.

Former SFSS internal-relations officer Kevin Tilley said there is a “lot of dissent” concerning the society’s recent decision to fire long-time staff member Hattie Aitken. Last week, the Straight reported that Aitken’s union, CUPE Local 5396, is challenging the dismissal. Former SFSS president Clement Apaak said at the time that Aitken was part of the group that brought in a contentious graduate-students’ health plan.
