The future of three non-profit organizations at the University of Regina (U of R) is uncertain following a proposal by the students’ union (URSU). URSU’s board passed three motions in a meeting on Sept. 13 to hold a referendum on whether it should continue collecting fees from students to support The Women’s Centre, the UR Pride Centre for Sexuality and Gender Diversity, and the Regina chapter of Engineering Without Borders Executive Director of the Women’s Centre Jill Arnott is calling the proposal a “targeted attack.” “It's tone deaf,” she told CTV News Friday. “People come to the places they come to because that's where they're comfortable.” All three entities are non-profit organizations – which are not overseen by either the university or the students’ union – but do receive funding from student fees collected by URSU. According to the Women’s Centre, which has operated for 56 years, and UR Pride, which was formed in 2010, less than $12 per student per semester goes to their organizations. Arnott says her organization provides a supportive and gender inclusive environment dedicated to the education of all students regarding women’s’ issues. “I actually can't imagine the impact for the students who utilize this space that are not comfortable in other spaces,” she said. “That's why they come here.” “These service centers have existed for decades for a reason,” said UR Pride Vice-chair Style Stenberg. “They are inherent to the DNA and the lifeblood of this campus.” UR Pride has been in the spotlight for the past year, as the organization led the legal charge, along with Egale Canada, against Saskatchewan’s pronoun policy, and later the Parents’ Bill of Rights. The legal battle between the provincial government and UR Pride remains ongoing. “Our reach is not just University of Regina campus,” Stenberg said. “It’s also Regina and all of southern Saskatchewan.” The Regina chapter of Engineers Without Borders was active on social media as of April 2024. The national organization seeks to create systemic change through community-driven collaboration by mobilizing the engineering community. When attempting to reach the chapter, CTV News learned it is currently inactive. Each organization operates under a compliance agreement with the student’s union which includes holding fair elections, conducting annual meetings and completing yearly audits. URSU claims the proposed referendum stems from the three organizations not complying with their respective agreements. Concerning the Women’s Centre, URSU claims that students have frequently complained about the lack of service and have asked why the union is not taking their complaints seriously. In a response to CTV News, URSU stated that the Women’s Centre has been perpetually closed for the past several years and is not fulfilling its obligations to provide services. “We already are covering for most of the services that [the Women’s’ Centre] was supposed to be providing,” the statement read. “All concerned students have to come to URSU when they find [the Women’s’ Centre’s] door closed for eternity, and that's quite a frequent occurrence in the last four years.” The centre’s board of directors have been unchanged since 2022, according to URSU. The union also claims that the centre does not have a president, only an executive director and has no record of the last time the organization has held an election, general meeting or similar activities. The non-profits have openly criticized URSU’s decision to potentially defund them. “We wanted to have a way to support students and help them be able to continue their education,” Arnott said. “[URSU] doesn’t know [their] demographic very well if [they're] suggesting this is not important.” “This is a time for the student body here at the U of R to really come together and not be divided around this,” Stenberg said. “This isn't an issue of he said she said. This is an issue of unity.” However, URSU maintains its decisions are purely due to the organizations not providing the services they agreed to. “It is noteworthy that these non-compliant service centers only became active when asked to provide deliverables and address compliance issues,” URSU said in a statement. “We are disappointed that some individuals have resorted to name-calling and making baseless claims of a gender-targeted attack. There is no truth to these accusations. The issue is that these service centers are not providing the services they were intended to.” In response to the conflict, U of R administration recognized the importance of the non-profits. “These agencies fully reflect and engage our values of equity, diversity, and inclusion,” the university said in a statement. “Our community is strengthened by their presence and services they offer on our campus.” “While URSU’s operations are independent from the University, their proposed actions will directly and negatively impact members of our community,” the statement added. URSU has not decided when its proposed referendum will take place.Alan Wake 2: Deluxe Edition is still available for only $50 at Walmart following the conclusion of Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales.

ORONO, Maine (AP) — Caleb Mead ran for 113 yards and a touchdown and New Hampshire beat Maine 27-9 on Saturday in a season-ending contest for both teams. The Wildcats (8-4, 6-2 Coastal Athletic Association) spotted Maine to a 9-0 lead when Joey Bryson kicked a 39-yard field and Carter Peevy threw an 8-yard touchdown to Montigo Moss, all in the first quarter. But midway through the second, the Wildcats took control and proceeded to score 27-straight points to clinch the win. Denzell Gibson ran it in from the 1 to end a 13-play, 81-yard drive that lasted 6:08 to reduce the deficit to 9-7 with 11 seconds left before halftime. On the first play from scrimmage after the break, Mead ran for a 57-yard touchdown for a 14-9 lead. Nick Mazzie kicked field goals of 21 and 22 yards and Seth Morgan ran it in from the 7 with 2:03 left to end it. Peevy threw for 168 yards for Maine (5-7, 3-5). ___ Get poll alerts and updates on the AP Top 25 throughout the season. Sign up here .

NoneArkansas receiver Andrew Armstrong said Tuesday that he is entering the NFL Draft. Later in the day, a school spokesman told reporters that Armstrong will skip the Razorbacks' bowl game. The destination isn't yet known. Armstrong led the Southeastern Conference in both receptions (78) and receiving yards (1,140) but caught just one touchdown in 11 games this season. His catches and yardage were both second-most in Arkansas history behind Cobi Hamilton, who had 90 receptions for 1,335 yards in 2012. "It's been a journey for the books and I wouldn't trade it for anything because it has made me into the man I am today," Armstrong said of his Razorbacks tenure in a social media post. "... I will never forget all the moments that were shared here in Fayetteville." Armstrong played two seasons at Texas A&M-Commerce before transferring to Arkansas ahead of the 2023 season. In two seasons with the Razorbacks, he caught 134 passes for 1,904 yards and six scores. --Field Level MediaWACO, Texas (AP) — Sawyer Robertson threw for 310 yards and four touchdowns as Baylor won its sixth straight to keep alive its slim hopes for a berth in the Big 12 championship game, beating Kansas 45-17 on Saturday. The Bears (8-4, 6-3 Big 12) scored touchdowns on three consecutive possessions in the first half to take a 21-7 lead, then found the end zone on all three of their drives in the third quarter. Bryson Washington ran for 192 yards on 27 carries that included a 10-yard TD run and punching in from the 1 in the second half for Baylor. Kansas (5-7, 4-5) entered on a three-game winning streak — all against ranked teams — to be in position for bowl eligibility with a win. But the Jayhawks had no answers for Baylor’s offensive. Baylor, which started 0-3 in league play, had to wait for the outcomes of games later Saturday. Arizona had to beat Arizona State, Kansas State had to beat Iowa State and Houston had to beat BYU for the Bears to get into next week's conference title game. Robertson was 23-for-31 passing, with TDs of 36- and 39-yards to Monaray Baldwin in the first quarter before a 14-yard score to Josh Cameron in the second. Baldwin caught seven passes for 119 yards, and Cameron added eight receptions for 102. Devin Neal ran for 133 yards and a touchdown on 20 carries for Kansas. Jalon Daniels was 12-of-23 passing for 280 yards passing, and had two passes intercepted by Baylor safety Devyn Bobby. Kansas: The Jayhawks rarely had issues moving the ball in the first half. Despite trailing 21-10 at intermission, the Jayhawks had outgained Baylor 301-283. Their problems came with holding onto the ball and scoring when they had the chance. Tabor Allen missed a 38-yard field goal to end the Jayhawks’ first possession, and they had promising drives end on a Daniels interception and Tevita Noa fumble after a 39-yard reception. Baylor: The Bears made a remarkable turnaround in the second half of the season. They began the year with coach Dave Aranda’s future considered tenuous at best, and a 2-4 start only made calls for him to be replaced louder. But Aranda and Baylor haven’t lost since Oct. 5 against Iowa State. Kansas’ season is over. Baylor had to wait to see when and where it will play its next game.
