Concordia University says it has changed its mind and will now allow its student union to choose the undergraduates who will sit on its new sexual violence prevention task force. The plan to establish the task force was announced after sexual misconduct allegations surfaced last month in the English department's creative writing program. However, the task force itself became the subject of controversy earlier this week, when the Concordia Student Union (CSU) criticized how the students on the task force were being selected. Usually, the student union appoints students to represent its peers on university committees. Any undergraduate student in good academic standing who wants to be on the task force can apply through the CSU.
