MUNSU Executive Director of External Affairs, Emily Dyer, has resigned.
Announced this afternoon on social media, Dyer’s resignation letter was released on MUN COURSE REVIEW/ ADVICE and Twitter.
In the letter, Dyer explained they faced a lack of support and communication from fellow Executive Directors. In addition to instances of flawed accountability structures leading to problematic behaviour on the part of certain co-workers.
Dyer also explained that there is an unspoken expectation for Executives to partake in an unsustainable volume of unpaid work: “Projects like the student handbook, on which I would estimate I worked close to 30 hours of unpaid overtime, joined by the Resource Coordinator, Kat McLaughlin, were severe drains for which I went uncompensated.”
Former President of the Political Science Society, Nicholas Hillier, made the post on social media. He is advocating that CFS-NL warrants an immediate investigation into the operations of MUNSU following Dyer’s claims.
MUNSU and CFS-NL have yet to comment.
More to follow.
