Announcement: Dissolution of the Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students (DAGS)
We regret to inform you that the Dalhousie Association of Graduate Students (DAGS) is no longer able to operate as an official society under the Dalhousie Student Union (DSU). Despite our dedicated efforts over the past year to regain ratification, unresolved issues—primarily related to a historical affiliation with the Canadian Federation of Students Nova Scotia (CFS-NS) dating back to 2017—have prevented us from resuming our services.
Few points DAGS would like to state -
We want to emphasize that we remain committed to the well-being and representation of all graduate students. We will continue to seek solutions to restore the support and services you deserve. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this challenging time.
Few points DAGS would like to state -
- Access to Funds: DAGS has not had access to the funds collected from graduate students intended for our services and initiatives. Over the past several years, and especially this last year, the DSU has not approved or processed any of our financial requests, including graduate student's travel grants, society grant requests or even the wages for our office coordinator.
- Office Space Eviction: We have been denied access to our office in the Student Union Building without prior notice or a clear transition plan, which has hindered our ability to support and represent you effectively.
- Formation of a New Society: We have proposed the creation of a new general interest society—the Dalhousie Organization of Graduate Students (DOGS)—to continue advocating for and serving graduate students. However, we have not yet received a response from the DSU regarding this proposal.
We want to emphasize that we remain committed to the well-being and representation of all graduate students. We will continue to seek solutions to restore the support and services you deserve. Thank you for your understanding and patience during this challenging time.
