announced. This is done by making changes to the union constitution overnight by the previous president and board members.
The outgoing president of the union, in a brazen attempt to stay on to power, crafted a new position through the constitutional changes, allowing herself to remain in the union’s trustee board for the next four years to eight years, undermining the rights of democratically elected presidents and attempting to make them dysfunctional.
Previous board members who are still holding office refused to cooperate with the newly elected president and held meetings and took key decisions excluding the president. Not only this, the union staff also refused to get approvals in administrative and financial matters from the president undermining his authority given to him.
Such efforts to marginalise the president have effectively rendered Arsalan Ghani, supposed to be the head of the union, toothless and unable to implement his election manifesto for the student community.
The university’s student elections held in March 2012 were also marred with controversy when the undergraduate candidate of African-Caribbean origin was discriminated and purposely disqualified on the pretence of irregularities during her election campaign.
After initially hesitating to listening to Ghani’s complaints, the university has now accepted his complaint. When approached, a university spokesperson at the External Affairs and Communications department refused to offer comments on the issue.
