Recent Membership Dissatisfaction
In 2005, the Students' Society of McGill University voted to leave the CASA. The CASA sued the SSMU after disaffiliation, and reached a settlement on fees in 2009.
In 2006, the University of Saskatchewan Students' Union ended its membership in the CASA during the USSU's failed bid to join the Canadian Federation of Students.
In 2009, the CASA's largest member, the Alma Mater Society of the University of British Columbia (AMS), voted for the second straight year to disaffiliate. The AMS cited high fees and the irrelevance of the CASA as primary reasons for disaffiliation. They currently sit as an associate member.

Famous quotes containing the word membership:
“The two real political parties in America are the Winners and the Losers. The people don’t acknowledge this. They claim membership in two imaginary parties, the Republicans and the Democrats, instead.”
