I guess people do read this blog after all. New text is as follows: "The books and records of the Society may be inspected by the Members of the Society at the General Office on any school day between the hours of 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. However, Council may establish a policy to keep certain records confidential where disclosure would be harmful to the financial or economic interests of the Society, or the security of the Student Union Building or a computer or communications system, as well as where disclosure would disrupt an ongoing investigation, violate solicitor-client privilege, or reveal in camera discussions." Internal communication claimed that this provision was "added in erroneously." I'm not sure what to say about that.

I chose not to focus on it because almost every aspect has already decided outside of UBC, it's still a very good deal for students, and I can't imagine it not going through. (It's not a question of, "Do you want the U-Pass system to change?" but, "the U-Pass system is changing, do you want the new one, or would you rather pay full price for transit?") @Eric the Ubyssey just ran a feature on it, in fact.
