The Impeachment of the Student Federation of the Univeristy of Ottawa Executives 2008-2009, and 2009-2010

To:  Student Federation of the University Of Ottawa, attn: Chair of the Board of Administration

We, the undersigned members of the Student Federation of the University of Ottawa (SFUO), hereby demand a referendum question be asked to all SFUO members regarding the impeachment of the following executives of the SFUO and the executives elect of the SFUO:

Dean Haldenby (President)
Roxanne Dubois (Vice-President Finance)
Seamus Wolfe (Vice-President University Affairs)
Danika Brisson (Vice-President Student Affairs)
Julie Seguin (Vice-President Communications)
Joel Larose (Vice-President Social Affairs)

and

Seamus Wolfe (President – elect)
Roxanne Dubois (Vice-President Finance – elect)
Julie Seguin (Vice-President Communications – elect)
Jean Guillaume (Vice-President Social Affairs – elect)

The grounds for impeachment are the following:
- Failure to uphold the spirit and integrity of the SFUO constitution at an emergency Board of Administration meeting on March 13th, 2009
refusal to act in good faith and cooperate with proceedings of the Student Appeals Committee (SAC) in a respectful manner to both the student arbitrators and the plaintiffs
- Refusal to abstain from a vote in which they were clearly in conflict of interests despite being presented with a speech from a fellow-candidate elect urging them and providing support as to why they could not in good conscience vote either 'yes' or 'no' ethically and fairly in the vote in question. This vote concerned their integrity as executives of the corporation of the SFUO
- Refusal to answer allegations of electoral fraud as individuals despite the allegations being with respect to alleged contravention of slating rules during the campaigns period
- Refusal to act in good faith in answering the concerns of those who brought allegations against them
- The resulting lack of confidence that these actions have created in individual members of the SFUO

We demand that students be able to directly determine the of the SFUO through a referendum as per section 4.17 of the SFUO constitution, and that a referendum question concerning each individual executive and executive - elect be asked as per clause 4.17.3.1.4 of the SFUO constitution.

Sincerely,

The Undersigned
