I'm probably not the only one in this university that has something to say about our student union. As bad as they are, they're always something worse. This is one of those things.

the Carleton University student union's decision to quit its Shinerama fundraiser because cystic fibrosis affects mainly white people is stupid and unfair, says CF sufferer Kelsey Lett.

Lett, 18, who has spent most of her life in hospital, says the disease doesn't discriminate.

"I know white girls who have it. I know black guys who have it," she said yesterday.

At a meeting Monday night, Carleton University Students Association councillors voted 22-2 in favour of quitting their long-standing fundraiser and sponsoring another charity.

They supported a motion to stop Shinerama because, as the motion stated, they want fundraising to be "inclusive as possible," and "CF has recently been revealed to affect white people and primarily men."

The decision was based on misinformation, says the head of the Canadian CF Foundation.

"It's the most common, fatal, genetic disease affecting young people in this country," Cathleen Morrison said.

"Hopefully people are making decisions based on information that is correct."

The fact that this happened in a Canadian university, in Ottawa no less, is embarrassing. Though it continues on to say that they are just radicals, its still not right. 

Even university people can still be stupid. 

Not just York.

(Kidding! I know a lot of people in York U...)

Anyway, back to studying and watching Flight of the concords.

Just AWESOME.

you have no idea how fustrating it was to make this post.
