As of March 11th, 2024, Trent Central Student Association (TCSA) Vice President Health & Wellness, Bri Policicchio, resigned from her position amid allegations of bigoted behaviour and workplace conduct from her fellow executives. In a letter obtained by Arthur written by TCSA President, Aimee Anctil, to the Association’s Elections Committee, Anctil alleges that from as early as June of 2023, Policicchio repeatedly harassed Association staff and Directors, monitored BIPOC Association Staff during work hours, and attempted to wrest power from the Association’s Resource Manager and General Director.
Student engagement took center stage during the March 3rd Trent Central Student Association (TCSA) Board of Directors meetings, with Directors sharing their concerns of falling attendance rates, both within the student body and the Board of Directors itself.
In what can only be described as a sucker punch to those of the Association’s membership who showed up to vote on specific by-law amendments which they rejected—twice—during a February 14th Semi Annual General Meeting (SAGM), the TCSA decided to ignore the will of students who cast their vote in a duly convened meeting and force the questions to appear on a referendum on the Spring Election ballot.
Arthur Newspaper returns for a very spooky edition. Spooky as in, you know, Hallowe'en and also Head of The Trent. This issue, your editors bring the annual Trent University homecoming right to your page. Including "Overheard at Head of the Trent", a snapshot of missed connections during the rowing regatta. Plus, you scream, I scream, we all scream as the student union met for the first time this academic year. Inside, co-editor Evan Robins reflect on celebrity death and worship in a time of global turmoil, Abbigale Kernya opens up about her failed vegetarianism, and Arthur journalists investigate, interview, poke and prod everything from films to professors.
Issue 5 features reporting on events centred around Black History Month both in Peterborough and Durham Region as well as a host of local community arts, culture, and politics stories - including the unveiling of the new crest for Gidigaa Migizi College during this year's Elders and Tradsitional People's Gathering. FInally, as things ramp up for the TCSA's spring elections, we're hopeful that students will make informed decisions on the questions the Association is asking them to vote on, again.
Arthur is back for Volume 57! What to expect? We remisce on the Planet Bakery (RIP) at both downtown and campus locations, we spill some secrets about hidden gems on Trent's Symons Campus, and we get some tips from our new Editor-In-Chief on how to navigate academic burnout. Plus so much more, including a film review, puzzles, and a letter-to-the-editor from a TCSA board member.
It's a time-travelling, rip-roaring, closet-recording RFA this week, as the show known for only the most breaking of news brings you the stale knowledge that beloved boy bandmate and (alleged) domestic abuser Liam Payne has died.
