Episode Synopsis

Graphic by Masih K



The Ryerson Students’ Union (RSU) has been mired in controversy after controversy, especially over the past three years. In this episode of the On The Record podcast, your hosts, TJ Dhir and Thomas Desormeaux, take a look at the student union’s fraught history.



Two former members of RSU’s Board of Directors have strong opinions about the executive committee’s activities during their tenure on the board, as does a former On The Record reporter covering the RSU beat. However, the president-elect of RSU hopes to instil and inspire change in an organization that seems to regularly make headlines for all the wrong reasons.
