Statements

The Graduate Students’ Association (GSA) at the University of Saskatchewan represents and advocates for all graduate students on campus. The Statements & Articles section provides official messages from the GSA Executive, addressing issues that affect graduate students, updates on university policies, advocacy initiatives, and responses to campus or community matters.

A Message of Solidarity with Jewish Graduate Students

The University of Saskatchewan Graduate Students’ Association stands with Jewish graduate students and members of the Jewish community following the vandalism at Congregation Agudas Israel during Shabbat services. When a place of worship is targeted, the effects extend beyond the building and can leave members of the community feeling vulnerable, isolated, or unsafe. Antisemitism, religious intimidation, and acts that undermine a community’s sense of safety have no place on our campus or in Saskatoon.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation: Our Responsibility Beyond September 30

The GSA honours residential school Survivors, their families and communities, and the children who never returned home. Reconciliation calls for learning and action beyond one day.

Message of Solidarity with Nepal and Nepali Graduate Students

The University of Saskatchewan Graduate Students’ Association expresses its profound sorrow following the catastrophic flooding in Nepal. The disaster has taken more than a thousand lives, left thousands missing, displaced communities, and caused extensive damage to homes and essential infrastructure. We stand with the people of Nepal and with Nepali graduate students at USask who are grieving, worried about loved ones, or otherwise affected by this tragedy.
