SRUCSA Statement regarding the consultation on closures at Elmwood Campus
SRUC recently announced a consultation to discuss the potential closure of the Golf Course and Student Residences. This news has been met with shock and sadness, especially considering the adverse impact it will have on vulnerable students who rely on these facilities. SRUCSA has been actively advocating for improvements to the residential experience and has engaged in consultations with students residing on campus.
