Whereas:

• Members of the student body are concerned by the allocation of funds suggested by the leaked 2017-2018 budget of the Dawson Student Union
• Financial statements for the year 2016-2017 have not yet been made accessible to the student body
• Evidence has come to light that Union funds have been used inappropriately (at the expense of many in favour of few, and allegedly to further illicit activities at executive "retreats")
• The Dawson Student Union must be run in accordance with its bylaws

We, the undersigned, members of the student body, call for:

1) The 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 financial statements to be made available for download on the DSU website

2) An immediate financial audit of the Dawson Student Union by an external auditor paid for with funds held by the union

3) The name and contact information of the Union's auditor to be made available on the DSU website

4) Cancellation of any further planned "retreats", for which an exhorbitant amount of money has been spent on a disproportionately small number of students.
