The Board of Directors convened on Thursday to talk accountability, action, and ad hoc committees.
Thursday found the LUSU Board room more crowded than usual; Directors Mason Ainsworth and Michael Bolliger from Orillia provided a physical presence at the weekly meeting.
The LUSU board dished out monetary helpings to assist a socially conscious sports team, a Black History Month dinner, and a summer reporter position last Thursday.

Last year’s board was called together Thursday night to approve the results of the recent board by-elections, which saw a 14.9% turnout. This came after the original elections failed to meet quorum, with under 7% participation.
