Still months away from assuming their posts, next year’s Students’ Society executive has announced plans to hold multiple consultation forums in the coming semesters in order to better understand how McGill students want to be consulted about consultation.

Though the seed of this idea was part of incoming President Adam Russell’s campaign platform, Russell explained that the election of this ideologically united executive has led to the organization of the consultation forums for next year.

“We just want students to tell us how they want to be consulted on any number of things,” said Russell. After concerns over a lack of consultation over this past year at McGill, Russell explained that he and his fellow executives not only need to know what students want, but also how students want to be asked what they want.

“I think these forums will be a great venue for asking students about how they want to be asked about things we want to ask them about.”

The forums are slated to begin during the first week of classes, with the first such event to take place on the Wednesday at 8:30pm in Three Bares Park.

“What is OAP?” querried incoming SSMU VP External Broseph Walsh when asked if he thought the first consultation forum would conflict with the ever-popular Open Air Pub that runs for two weeks around the beginning of the school year. “I don’t know what you’re talking about, but I think we’ll be fine.”

“The point is that students need to have their voices heard concerning how they want their voices heard concerning any number of things,” said Walsh. “Things like GA reform and MoA agreements, you know, stuff that all McGill students really care about.”
