Description
Photographs taken during a meeting of the Campbell Committee sub-committee to examine temporary changes to the composition of CAPUT. In the meeting, attended by some 150-200 students, President Bissell refused to repudiate a working paper by the Committee of Presidents of Ontario Universities and reiterated that until the law was changed, student disciplinary issues were vested with CAPUT. In response, S.A.C. Vice-President, Robert Barkwell and another S.A.C. representative withdrew from the sub-committee and argued that their departure meant that the committee should be dissolved. The sub-committee continued the meeting and when it finally adjourned, the students voted for a mass meeting to take place in two days time.
