Carleton University won't be holding a popular fundraiser to benefit cystic fibrosis, it was confirmed Tuesday, after the student council passed a motion falsely claiming the disease affects only white men.
In what journalism councillor Nick Bergamini calls an "incredibly divisive" move,the Council of Carleton University Students Association (CUSA) passed a motion at a meeting late Monday night that effectively cancelled the annual Shinerama fundraising campaign.
Shinerama events occur during the school's orientation week and proceeds go to the Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation (CCFF)....the motion read that orientation week strives to be inclusive and volunteers should feel like their fundraising efforts are serving a diverse community. However, the motion went on to say that "and whereas cystic fibrosis has been recently revealed to only affect white people and primarily men, be it resolved that: CUSA discontinue its support of this campaign."
No word yet as to whether these idiots have also ruled out support of Sickle Cell Anemia or Tay-Sachs Disease charities.
