A complaint has been launched to the University of Windsor's Graduate Student Society regarding a vote for a proposed $73-million student recreation complex.
Students voted 63% in favour of the proposal which would see students responsible for paying three quarters of the cost.
Mohammad Akbar is a former student who will be returning to the University of Windsor next year.
He believes the referendum this month violated Graduate Student Society's bylaws which call for a two-week notice period for a referendum.
Akbar says this vote came out of the blue and the notice came out the same day as the voting period.
"I have suggested a revote is the best option and that's what many folks think and most folks want to have a fair and unbiased chance to talk about this issue," says Akbar.
"This vote just came out of the blue and it wasn't very well advertised and as such, resulted in one side being more prepared than the other."
Akbar says he likes the idea of a student recreation complex but he believes the university should pay for it, not students.
Akbar says his concern is more with the procedure and not the results of the vote. He doesn't know when he will hear back from the society on his concern.
Last year, the GSS voted against the recreation proposal.
Akbar says a recent study found about 30% of students are food insecure and some turn to food banks for help so additional expenses for a recreation complex aren't fair.
