union successfully lobbied the University for lighting to be installed on campus to prevent crime and sexual assault. They also succeeded in increasing library hours. In February 2006, Adam Hinton and Lila Pavey were elected as Students' Union president and vice president. During the 2006–2007 academic year, the union brought in communications initiatives to improve signage, branding, and technologies among other things. As part of this process the StFX Students' Union was rebranded as The U. In July 2006, the Student Union launched its new website which included the new logo. In early 2007, the Student Union implemented a long term strategic plan which focused on communication, accountability, environmental sustainability, post-secondary research, financial growth, and enhanced internal leadership training. A new constitution, which declared the Student Union's stance on students rights issues, was also passed. In January 2007 the Student Union organized a protest against plans to change the residences of Burke, Fraser, and Plessis into a single residence.

In February 2008, Matt MacGillivray and Julia Clarke were elected as the Students' Union president elect and vice-president elect for the 2008–2009 academic year.

In February 2010, Sam Mason and Alia Hack were elected as Students' Union president elect and vice-president elect for the 2010–2011 academic year.

Instead, vice president recruitment and student experience, Keith Publicover, must now approve all mass email communication. Another issue is the possibility that the school's all-female and all-male residence houses, Cameron Hall and MacKinnon Hall, could become co-ed on May 1; the Residence Office has refused to reassign students to those houses or communicate about what the plans are for the two buildings. The plans never went through, and the residences remain single-gendered. Keith Publicover also resigned from his position during the summer of 2012. In January 2012, Nick Head-Peterson and Rachel Mitchell were
