Canadian Cystic Fibrosis Foundation wins.
More importantly the victims of this decease win, men,woman and children.
CUSA president Brittany Smyth said she will table a motion at the next council meeting that would repeal the decision.
Councillors don't want people to think that the annual Shinerama fundraiser was cancelled because they believe, mistakenly, that cystic fibrosis only affects a specific segment of the population.
"Because of so much confusion, students don't want people to think that that's why we didn't want to go with the cystic fibrosis fundraiser," Smyth told CTV.ca in a phone interview Wednesday. "There seems to be a lot of support among council to just go back to how it was and then open up conversations with students to see what people would like to do in the future."
Smyth originally defended the move, saying it opened the door for next year's orientation week co-ordinators to choose another charity if students wanted a change.
Smyth said the part of the motion that justifies the cancellation of Shinerma is irrelevant and only reflects the rationale of the councillor who brought it forward.
In a statement issued on Wednesday, Carleton president Roseann O'Reily Runte said that she personally regrets that the motion was adopted and said the language used to justify cancelling Shinerama was "not appropriate."
