Grandpa,
One of the rules is that one may appeal a decision.

You know me...

...I'm a cantankerous old git.

Victor Meldrew...eat your heart out.

On a more congenial note, I should like to offer Tom my congrats if any appeals against his appeal are appealed.

I hope to have a good year with whomever ends up, finally, in the place of president and am sure that whichever of our candidates it is that they will benefit the Union and Students' Association very much.

'Grandpa' is clearly a funny old man - I don't think Admin can take credit for that.

I bet SRC/SSC is going to be so much fun . . .

And all because of that bloody horse that Marcus had.

Oi! I'm not like this in the flesh, you know! I do actually have a heartbeat...somewhere...

Yes, I think SSC/SRC should be really quite good this year. I think at least one visit from our absent members' absent member would be quite funny.

Also, I plan on really trying to get as involved as possible, given my other main committment (OTC), I think this should be quite possible.

Live animals should be allowed, as long as they do not attempt to missapropriate the canvasing of votes via electronic/email/personal messaging, or other such devices.

Also, on a similar note...

As Rector's Assessor, Ben's remit is:

*to act as representative and point of contact for the Rector in his absence, preffereably by dressing up in a purple hat and big white beard

*to have fantastically HoOwWgGe red hair

*to provide advice, information, assistance and support to help the Rector in the efficient and effective conduct of his duties...(no whiplashing or tieing to park benches)

*to wear wide, metal rimmed glasses, and ties and wacky shirts with excessively large collars.

*to contribute effectively to proceedings as a member of the University Court. This means getting up on the table and gyrating to Led Zepplin's 'The Wanton Song' as much as possible - either that or "I'm to sexy" by right said fred.


*The promotion of the aforementioned metal rimmed glasses.

* to attend SRC and other committees as required, giving away nothing of the conduct at University Court!

I read that in quite a disturbing way. My mind is now poisoned.

However, the Absent Students' Rep is already doing his part, since he attended the meeting of the Education subcommitte on Wednesday morning, unlike some other representatives...

Simon's beard isn't that big. I was however particularly gratified that he had adopted the same hairstyle as me on the night of the Solatium.

No, you've got those transparent framed things now haven't you? I was just thinking the other day how good they looked.

Do we know if there been an appeal against the appeal?

Re:

Postby classydriver on Fri Mar 24, 2006 8:38 pm

If there was to be another appeal it would have to be on the following grounds:

a) Bias or prejudice
b) Procedural Irregularity
c) Information not known at the time of the previous decision for good reason

These are the appeal requirements. I know, Simon Atkins and I wrote them for the General Election last February.

Tom would have to have used one of these grounds to argue against the decision taken by the EOC. It is very unlikely to know what he based his appeal on since it is confidential to those in attendance at the appeal meeting.

As a former Senior Elections Officer, what I found frustrating about decisions, like the one taken against Tom, is that everyone thinks they are an expert on what has happened. JUST STOP. If you are not an Elections Officer then you are not an expert on decisions. The Elections Officers took action that they felt was justified. Tom felt he had a right to appeal under (a)-(c) and did. The Appeals Board have agreed with him.

If someone is going to appeal (again under the same conditions (a)-(c)) that is their right, if not lets get behind Tom and support him as President.
