The Committee for the Allocation of Student Activity Space

Origin of CASAS

In 1998-99, the University had a Task Force on Student Activity Space to examine the issues surrounding space availability for three main areas of student activity:campus groups, student societies and multi-faith needs.
One of the products of the task force's report was to strike a committee and it was named the Commitee to Allocate Student Activity Space (CASAS). CASAS today allocates the 50+ shared office spaces available in the 21 Sussex Clubhouse (21 Sussex Ave.)

Membership

CASAS consists of:
  • two representatives from UTSU
  • one representative from APUS
  • one representative from the GSU
  • three students at large, nominations to be received in December of each year and assessed by the Vice-Provost Students. Students will be selected to represent broad student interests.
  • three staff members to be drawn from divisions from the Office of Student Life.
The CASAS chair is chosen from within its membership by the Committee. Each student member will serve a one year term which is renewable to a maximum of three years. The staff representatives service a three year term which is renewable.
