A number of issues were discussed at the Concordia Board of Governors meeting Monday.

Concern over the use of the Concordia brand by student groups was brought to light by two governors.

In a statement to fellow Concordians, A Better Concordia addressed the release of candidates Schubert Laforest and Lucia Gallardo's student records.

Both candidates were disqualified from the upcoming CSU election for allegedly not being registered students.

An investigation is being held to discover the origin of the documents.

According to CBC, a student sit-in protest at l’Université à Montréal on Sainte-Catherine turned into an overnight event on Monday.

Students began to bring out chairs from the university and played music and made art.

These students were mostly from UQAM and CÉGEP Vieux-Montréal.

A group of Canadian smokers have filed a class action lawsuit against Canada's three largest tobacco companies. 

Concordia Student Union presidential candidate Schubert Laforest has been disqualified from the elections for not being a registered student

Candidate Lucia Gallardo who is also of the A Better Concordia team was also disqualified.

They responded to the disqualification Sunday by releasing a statement denying the allegations. They also attached their MyConcordia class schedules to prove that they are registered.

If Laforest is not reinstated Melanie Hotchkiss of the Concordia Could Be team will run unopposed.
