The Committee for the Allocation of Student Activity Space

Origin of CASAS

In 1999, 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 that allocated the determined space. 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 a member of the Office of Student Life serving strictly as an administrative and facilatative role. A student member may wish to serve up to three years. The staff representatives serve a three year term if desired.
