You guys are trending! Can a visitor from r/all ask what's going on?

[–][deleted] 85 ポイント86 ポイント  (16子コメント)

Basically, for years, this "non-profit" organization that spent 60-70% of its budget on salaries and had terrible student outreach (there was a poll done on some second-year students - 80% didn't know what it did, 40% hadn't even heard of it) took money from every student at our university every term.

After nine months of struggle, a small student-led group managed to trigger a referendum on whether to continue the fee (after the organization in question tried to block them at every corner from calling a referendum), and little surprise, students overwhelmingly voted to remove the fee going to them.

So it's finally over after all our struggle. Students won. And we're all really happy.

?

[–][deleted] 44 ポイント45 ポイント  (3子コメント)

At the start of the year, some students were annoyed about some student campaign the organization did and suggested that the fee become opt-in. In response, a now-former student councillor went berserk on a student and said that "You. Are. A. Vocal. Minority. That needs to check their privilege and stop complaining about things that don't even affect you."

(The student was South Asian to boot.)

Facebook drama - this is a quote from a student council member who refused to acknowledge the legitimacy of the movement to remove the fee, essentially dismissing the people asking for the referendum as a small group of radicals.

[–]isarlhockey engineering (SYDE alum) 17 ポイント18 ポイント  (5子コメント)

A link to an article from the student newspaper is about as informative as you'll get.

TL;DR: some student wanted a student councillor in the student government to take up the Opt-In issue on behalf of those students who opposed the Opt-Out fee structure, but the student councillor strongly disagreed that the issue was worth pursuing. She insisted that those complaining about it were a vocal minority:

There are like (sic) three people complaining to me about these things and an overwhelmingly larger number of people who support the contrary, and actually agree with me. You. Are. A. Vocal. Minority. (sic) That needs to check their privilege and stop complaining about things that aren’t even harmful to you simply because other people are getting a voice.

Today's vote shows otherwise.

[–]feb914math alum 14 ポイント15 ポイント  (4子コメント)

It's not that she didn't see it as worth pursuing, but many student politicians are in favour of WPIRG. A two time Feds VP wrote an imprint article in support of WPIRG, another two time Feds VP shared on his fb that he's in support of Vote Keep, a math senator shared the link to the imprint article and the fb post. I dare to say that many pre-2016 Feds student politicians are among WPIRG supporters.
Source: I was two times Feds councillor who may be the only who hated WPIRG in council then.

[–]isarlhockey engineering (SYDE alum) 4 ポイント5 ポイント  (0子コメント)

I was couching my appraisal in restrained terms, but I meant to imply that she didn't see it as worth pursuing because she disagreed with it, as evidenced by her own words. I appreciate your unique perspective.

Maybe being an WPIRG supporter is good for you getting elected and getting cushy feds positions, just like certain political parties love unions.

[–]feb914math alum 11 ポイント12 ポイント  (1子コメント)

During winter 2013 GM when there was a motion for WPIRG referendum, they brought 150-200 of their supporters and filled the great Hall. During Feds board of directors candidate Q&A in that meeting, they asked each candidate whether they supported WPIRG. The only guy who said no did not get get elected.

[–]newguy57Hustler 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And there you have it. Gangs maintain a grip on politics because they work in blocks and have a plurality of support; enough to stuff votes and maintain their status. It takes a strong powerful majority to vote out the special interests. They take advantage of apathy.

[–]ball-satchel 18 ポイント19 ポイント  (0子コメント)

Around 9 months ago, this group used student funds to try to push a divisive political referendum on campus to sever academic ties with Israeli universities that were supposedly complicit in human rights abuses in the region. As a result many people were angry that they used student funds for political purposes.

Many students tried to contact members of student council to voice their concerns, and push for a referendum on the mandatory fee that we pay to this organization. One councillor did not believe that students cared about this issue, and on the contrary, thought most students supported WPIRG. So she responded by telling the person raising the concerns, "YOU.ARE.A.VOCAL.MINORITY."

Now fast forward to today....

[–]GenesisTKCS/C&O/STAT 26 ポイント27 ポイント  (3子コメント)

Well technically nothing, they had little impact on students lives and most of their protests/campaigns were short-lived and erratic. It was pretty much an organization that was content with being hidden and taking money.

The news article on their latest project is telling: they didn't go through any of the proper channels and as a result campus police dismantled their unsanctioned installations pretty much immediately. Materials and development costs wasted, simply because WPIRG chose not to be professional and consult with the proper admin.

Nothing wrong with proposing that specific referendum..

[–]keyboard_banger 7 ポイント8 ポイント  (0子コメント)

There's nothing wrong with "proposing" that referendum. But donating to a campaign that is against the interest of a sizable number of your student body and the people that pay is a dick move. If you believe we should sever ties with Israel, it's not that bad. But if you don't, you probably don't want them to spend your money for that.

[–]Tree_Boar3N E⚡C💻E • /r/UWaterloojerk advocate 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (7子コメント)

Did you see how the question was worded? It was positioned as "do you support human rights abuses?"

[–]jordan2324 1 ポイント2 ポイント  (6子コメント)

I understand where you're coming from, but is that a bad description of an occupier? They've literally been occupying another state for decades. Occupation is a pretty serious human rights violation. As Obama said, you can't think that this occupation and building of illegal settlements will go on forever. Also, it's pretty clear the Zionist leader Netanyahu wants no part in a two state solution. How can he if he continually approves of building illegal settlements on Palestinian land? Sorry, I'm kind of veering of the discussion point, and this aspect of the discussion can go on forever.

It's no longer an occupation, it is truly an annexation now.

What about the evidence showing that these universities helped the IDF in research for weaponry, etc?

Out of curiosity, are you suggesting you would have voted differently if it were worded differently?

I'm not saying I support WPIRG, I don't support giving my money to an organization I have no info on. But for that specific referendum I had to agree with because I just don't feel like it's morally wrong to have ties with schools from an occupying controversial state.

I'm genuinely curious, there's no need to down vote. If you disagree with me, let's have a dialogue instead of taking the easy route.

[–]Tree_Boar3N E⚡C💻E • /r/UWaterloojerk advocate 5 ポイント6 ポイント  (5子コメント)

Edit: his comment was significantly changed after I responded.

My position is that neither side in the israel/palestine conflict is correct. Both have done despicable things, and the majority of israelis and palestinians have nothing to do with those things. I do not believe the conflict will have a resolution while there are living people who remember the war.

Firstly, I dispute that by partnering with a university we are complicit in human rights abuses by that university's government. Our collaboration with TIIT is for quantum and nanotech, in which our university is also a global leader, not in weapons or in research on how to oppress palestinians.

I would not have voted differently, I simply believe that the wording had significant room for improvement. I think it's banal for an undergraduate student union to try to influence foreign policy like this, especially as it would literally have no effect. Sure, you can argue that senate would have seen the position, but I find it incredibly hard to believe that they 1) would change anything about the relationship and 2) give a shit about what undergrads think.

Are we to cut ties with any university that has developed weapons? Columbia University, the University of Chicago and UC Berkeley developed the most horrific weapon known to humanity, but nobody's up for severing ties with them. As long as our research and our partnerships are not contributing to weaponry, I don't think the point is salient.

Or if weapons are not the issue, do we move to cut ties with Chinese Universities because of the human rights violations of their governments? Russian ones, for their government's far more recent annexations?

The immediate rebuttal is that we have to start somewhere if we are going to sever ties with any universities. Sure. But do you actually believe anything would go further than Israel if this were passed? There is a definite uniqueness about Israel when matters like this come up. Everything seems to be viewed as significantly worse when the Jews are involved.

[–]jordan2324 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (3子コメント)

I was with you the entire way until you tried to victimize Jews. Which is very unfortunate. A Zionist state does not represent Judaism nor does it represent Jews. Judaism and Zionism. Maybe, just maybe, the uniqueness comes from Israel being the only occupying state in the world? Or maybe it's because this occupying state has been persecuting an entire peoples for decades and decades. Did you ever think of that?

You bringing up that it is viewed like this because of of a peoples religion is extremely disgraceful and ignorant and maybe you should touch up on thinking critically before posting comments suggesting things of that nature.

Cheers.

[–]Tree_Boar3N E⚡C💻E • /r/UWaterloojerk advocate 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (2子コメント)

I'm not victimizing anyone. It's an observable phenomenon.

Palestinians encounter significant racism in other ME countries. Those ME countries which hate Palestinians and will not allow them to immigrate, however, advocate strongly against Israel. Why?

A picture of a dead child's body will generate much more buzz if it's attributed to attacks by the JIDF rather than by the Syrian regime, even if the picture is actually from Syria. (I will sauce this when I get home, not looking up pictures of dead kids at work). Why?

By all accounts, Israel is much safer than Syria, for all peoples. Why do you think something becomes worse when it is associated with Israel rather than any other country?

As I said at the start of my previous post, neither side is in the right, and both sides are heavily discriminated against.

Dismissing the skew which is brought to this conflict out of hand is not thinking critically, and pretending that religion is not a massive factor in the conflict is patently absurd. You chide me for not thinking critically, but you refuse to consider a line of thought different from your own.

Israel is certainly not unique in occupation, nor in oppression.

[–]jordan2324 -2 ポイント-1 ポイント  (0子コメント)

And furthermore, neither side is correct? But you seem to mentioned that one is the occupier and one is the occupied. Did you know that under international law, an occupied people are legally entitled to resist occupation?

Also, don't forget about the blockade Israel has forced onto the Palestinians. A blockade of land, air and water.

/u/Atari_5200

Crtleft Social Justice Globalist Organization WPIRG tax us students a heavy amount of $4.75 per term, then spend our money on outraging on shit like Israel, American police that has nothing to do with us. for example - they spend many our funding trying to push a non binding referendum cut our non existent tie with University located in Israel; Instead of doing anything that actually improve students' life. They spend our money pushing far left Globalist political agenda , become more authoritarian in nature,silencing any opinion don't fit their narrative.

Worst of all, They marketed themselves as non profit,anti corporate, progressive Organization while half of our money goes to their pockets. Many of them have salary over 22$ per hour. Which is higher than most people on Coop as most of UW students are studying arts . Their hypocrisy fuel our Anger to start a movement the corrupt and rigged system.

In the end, we hold a referendum. Thanks to 7000 based groosepedes. The silent majority has spoken. We took our pocket changes back. I hope it happen to your country too.

Hey WPIRG don't fall in despair, You can still go back to your biggest donor from this lovely gentman.

Amen. No one at uwaterloo gives a shit, and none of the candidates ever give reason too. The Remove WPIRG campaign was the most well organized and vocal campaign I've ever seen on campus. They were the only ones who could come close to breaking the apathy.

[–]first_year_cschar term = ':'; 2 ポイント3 ポイント  (0子コメント)

/u/Victawr and I have pointed out in the past that having such a high co-op student proportion definitely contributes to the lack of school spirit—and co-op is something innate about Waterloo, so I don't know what you could change.

When a large portion of students are only on campus every other term (and typically focusing on landing that next co-op job during the school term), what do you expect? School for most people on co-op is a temporary thing. Plus, homecoming doesn't really work when 1/3 of the students aren't even there.

Moreover, people in STEM programs (which contribute to a large proportion of the population here) typically have to decide whether we have enough free time to attend events (like sports team games). I know hockey/track typically does pretty well, but football seems to be a pretty big deal, and our football team kinda sucks. And watching people lose isn't the most exciting thing to do.

And the school's image isn't really one about partying. We're basically a school where people come (at least in the past) for learning and job experience, not partying. UW has the reputation of being a great school with a great Co-op program, and that seems to be something the administration is happy with (besides pushing how I N N O V A T I V E we are).

The Waterloo Public Interest Research Group’s latest on-campus project found itself stopped almost before it could start in a dispute between WPIRG and campus police. The project, Portrait of a Campus, involved setting up portraits of UW students, staff, and faculty commenting on their concerns with mental health on campus. Within an hour of the portraits being set up on the morning of Sept. 15, campus police had collected most of the portraits and disposed of them in the trash. ....... In a recording provided to Imprint between WPIRG members and an unidentified campus police sergeant, the students were told that the posters were garbage.

“As far as I’m aware, [the portraits were] removed at maybe 9:30-10 a.m. this morning, because it’s pretty much litter or garbage for us,” the officer said. “You can’t recover it, because they shouldn’t have been here in the first place. So it becomes our property, and they’re garbage, so now they’re in the garbage.”

Let me tell you folks. It's gonna be a landslide. We are going to win, and we're gonna win big. It's gonna be yuge. Buhlieve me. We're going to win on every single level. We're gonna win so much, you're going to get sick of it. And I'm gonna say, we're gonna keep winning, because we're gonna Make Waterloo Great Again.
