Organized by Solidarity Concordia
Solidarity Concordia came together in fall of 2014 in the wake of the latest round of cuts (part of recent “austerity measures”) and students, staff, and faculty have begun to talk about and understand their effects. Some of the allied Concordia groups supporting the anti-austerity efforts of Solidarity Concordia include:
– Concordia Graduate Students’ Association (GSA)
– Concordia Student Union (CSU)
– Fine Arts Student Alliance (FASA)
– Geography, Planning, and Environment Graduate Students Association (GEOGRADS)
– Quebec Public Interest Research Group at Concordia (QPIRG)
– Students Association of Graduates in English (SAGE)
– Students of Philosophy Association (SoPhiA)
– Sustainable Concordia (SC)
