Conflict & Controversy

Conflict has arisen during past YFS elections with pro-Israel and pro-Palestine groups attempting to take over the executive of YFS. The most recent elections in early 2006 saw 15 positions being acclaimed, and one being left vacant ([Elections York]).

YFS Services

The YFS offers several different services to students, such as reduced photocopying fees and a free local fax line ([YFS]). All students at York University (the only exception being Osgoode Hall students) participate in a health plan ([YFS]). 65.5% of voting Glendon College students voted to join the health plan during their 2006 Spring Elections ([Elections York]). Glendon College was a previous non-participant in the plan.

Students with comparable coverage are permitted to opt-out of the plan.
