Meow everyone.
i have bee writing a fair bit about how some student unions love to say one thing but in fact, practice something very much opposite of what they say.
Now, lets have a look at the first poster that was for these series of events:
Now please forgive me, however, I fail to see anywhere on this first poster exactly where there is any mention of any sort of accommodations , or any being offered or provided. Would you please show me were i might find it one this first poster .
Now, lets go to the second poster :
Well, here, if you look closely at the very bottom of the poster, here, there is an accommodation statement. VERY GOOD.
OK, now that we have seen the posters for the events, why not see how accessible they really are.
What we see here is a food truck for one of the events. Now , i must admit that in my somewhat hastily arrived at observation, it , on the surface appears that this food truck, while nice and no doubt has good food to buy, is not exactly accessible to a person who uses a wheelchair or other mobility device. So any claim to accessible events has already failed. However, being the nice person that i really, I wanted to give the RSU other chance to see if you realized this error and it was simply an oversight. Lets look at the next image.
Come on , how could you. Did the Ryerson Student Union invent a wheelchair that can levitate and climb six inch concrete curbs and not tell anyone about it ? Or, was this just another example of how little thought actually went into deciding where this display would go, and obviously, its NOT accessible now is it?
OK, so there were a few problems with the accessibility of the events . Ii am sorry but when you proclaim that all the events will be accessible and events like this :
.. are clearly not, please explain to me exactly how you can as a student union, tell us with a straight face that you do care about full inclusiveness for all the students, when clearly, you put on events that EXCLUDE several students. You certainly have no trouble making spaces for anarchists and communists to show their wares as seen here :
, and here ,
, however, it appears that the Ryerson Student Union seem to have little to zero interest in making sure that EVERY student on this campus, who pay fees that pay your healthy salary are fully included in student life.
