5th Week Special Council and Ordinary Council

Council Minutes: Friday, Week 5, MT08
Rich Hardiman (OUSU Financial Admin Manager) was given speaking rights in Council: (Speaking with regard to the JMB entry in this week's Oxford Student Newspaper) I've checked the files that were sent and they included the missing manifesto. There are 3 potential errors but I do not want to bore you with the details. This has led to an incomplete JMB being published.

Madeline Stanley (LMH): Noted that she has made a ruling that the JMB must be in the Oxford Student, and that in order to guarantee free and fair elections, the elections would be delayed by exactly a week. There will be a meeting for all candidates.

Jonny Medland (Queen's): Why can we not run the elections at the weekend starting on Friday?

Madeline Stanley (LMH): Voters should be allowed the same amount of time to get hold of a copy of the JMB and to read it.

Stefan Baskerville (University): Will you email all our tutors to explain why our work will not be in on time?

Madeline Stanley (LMH): Only if you email mine.
