Another example of the communication problem that exists between the university and YUSU. The university's concern with confidentiality and general ignoring of YUSU means that often things like security incidents that students report through university channels (provosts, supervisors etc) don't get reported to YUSU, even when it would be quite useful for YUSU to know about them. The problem isn't quite so bad the other way around, and things that are reported through college welfare reps, where relevant, generally get relayed to YUSU and to provosts etc. “YUSU were unaware of the incident, and declined to comment.”
