Judicial Board given a vote of confidence at special CSU meeting

A bid to contest decisions made during this year’s Concordia Student Union elections failed at Thursday’s special council meeting.

The meeting was called to determine whether the Union’s Judicial Board acted according to its bylaws.

The JB was scrutinized over their decision to disqualify candidates Schubert Laforest and Lucia Gallardo and then reinstate them just two business days before polling.

Laforest went on to be elected President and Gallardo VP Academic and Advocacy.

At the meeting a four-fifths majority could not be reached to overturn the JB’s decision so the outcome of the election stands.
