🚨 The Interrobang is under threat! 🚨

After over 50 years of serving the Fanshawe community, the Fanshawe Student Union (FSU) is shutting down The Interrobang—without student input and without saving a single dollar. This is a huge blow to independent student journalism.

📢 Students deserve a voice. A petition is calling for a referendum to fund The Interrobang independently—so it can continue holding power to account and telling student stories.

🖊️ Sign the petition now and send an email to FSU! Link in bio.
