Since the mid-1980s when the group took a political turn towards the student movement, much of the I.S.'s work occurs on university campuses and most of their members are either university students or joined while in university. It was once quite active at the University of Toronto where one member became president of the Student Administrative Council as part of a broader left wing slate.
