NowUC is reporting that in the golden dawn of voluntary student unionism a mere 500 students at the University of Canberra have chosen to pay for the services of their student association.
With about 500 members two weeks into the first semester of 2007, Mr Emerson says that he faces an uphill battle to recruit another 4000 students just so the association can meet its 2007 projected expenditure of over $250,000. Yet one of the problems facing Emerson is convincing previous members and first-year students that the association provides unreplaceable services exclusively for the students of UC.
With only 7% of the previous membership surely they can trim their budget for the reduced services they’re going to be called to provide?
