SUBU FULL TIME OFFICERS ELECTIONS 2017- #Electoral Fraud#Discrimination#Unfairness.
Final supporters
#Unfairness:
Racism and unfairness has submerged in our Union, during the elections I have not been well treated by the Elections Committee which sat up a meeting to investigate allegations towards me, even it was clearly written down in the By-Laws (Elections' rules) that investigations must be performed on the basis of evidence, which is a compulsory condition that the Committee did not meet. "Evidence is essential as Elections Committee, led by the CRO, cannot make decisions based on hearsay. Complaints submitted via any other medium other than in writing to [email protected] will not be acknowledged."
Several complaints have been issued about the co-campaigning between a candidate who run for VP Welfare and another one who run for VP Community, this testament was made by students I approached them on the University Campus and Dylan's Bar. Besides this, another complaint was submitted formally and within the legal time to the CRO about breaking the rule relating to the number of people who are allowed to be a part of the campaign team, no decision has been taken against such acts that jeopardise the well-functioning of the campaign.
Another complaint was made against some SUBU's Staffs who were verbally harassing me, taking into consideration the formal process pertaining to the complaint procedure, I have acknowledged the Elections Committee about that hatred matter, the meeting which was supposed to take place related to that issue was cancelled without pointing out any further reason why such meeting was not set up on as it was agreed !!.
The most unacceptable thing has never occurred, was being disqualified without being warned or even informed about such procedure that took place after the elections have been closed.
The flexibility was noticed with some candidates who had the absolute right to break the rules by campaigning in specific areas -for instance: night clubs- who are supposed to not proceed to do so. Worst of all, they have been allowed to do so by getting the whole consent of the CRO and Elections Committee.
#Electoral Fraud:
According to the By-Laws “COMPLAINTS AND RECOUNTS 5.1. A Candidate (or their agent) may request that a re-count be made; the CRO shall have the final decision on this matter. 5.2. If a candidate is dissatisfied with the conduct of the election after the close of voting, the CRO shall determine how to proceed. 5.3. Candidates (or their appointed agents) may be present at the count; however, they may not have any communication with any person outside the count room prior to the results being announced by the CRO.”
On the basis of what is written down above, I have submitted an official request asking to proceed to do the recount, the reply of my request was not delivered immediately.
Have been contacted by the CRO through the social media (Facebook). Using such tool of communication to contact students about serious issues it only demonstrates the unprofessionalism of the Elections Committee and the CRO in particular. The process (vote recount) which was intended to be performed at SUBU's premises along with the CRO did not take place, I was asked to go with SUBU's Manager to certain (Jason) who is in charge of SUBU's IT and voting system. This latter categorically refused to allow me to recount my votes even though it is clearly mentioned in the By-Laws that I have the right to do so, the unprofessionalism is also seen when I have been informed by a Responsible that the By-Laws was not updated yet !.
Finally, I would request that the board of trustee to take part of this issue by investigating about all the points mentioned above and allowing me to recount my votes according to the point mentioned in the By-Laws.
Please kindly sign this petition to tackle hatred discriminatory decisions.

I have been hearing from so many of you about the way the committee just ignored their own rules and honestly it makes me feel like I am not alone in seeing this mess. I am currently spending every waking hour drafting formal letters to the higher ups because the silence from the election office is just deafening and they think I will eventually just go away if they keep hiding behind their desks.

The sheer volume of people backing this is honestly wild because I really thought I was the only one paying attention to how these rules were being twisted. It actually feels like people are finally waking up to the unfairness here even though it has been such an exhausting loop of emails and meetings that went nowhere.

It's clear that they don't like international students to be SUBU's Officers. SUBU's integrety has being seriously undemand by this unfair discrimination.
Its high time allegations against anyone be treated with highest level of fairness and just. More over allegations should be investigated based on quality evidence and not just mere words of mouth. BU is so diversed with people from vritually every part of the world and the way issuess are treated here will go along way to determine the perception of BU from outsiders. Lets shun all action of racism, injustice and lack of fair hearing. #retrace your steps
I am aware of the fraud that my best friend Anas encountered at his university. It is shame that some of our universities still have this issue.
It is clear that the Union is becoming polluted. The Elections Committee, and especially the CRO are discriminatory biased, close-minded and RACISTS, what happened is badly affecting the notoriety of the University. During the campaign I have seen how SUBU's staffs were endorsing some candidates, it is not fair at all !!!!! Why the Elections Committee did not pronounce about that ?????. This Union belongs to students not to particular people or some candidates, there is a conspiracy behind all what happened. This irresponsible behaviour must stop immediately and it's time to say NOOOOOOO to racism and mediocrity.
The Elections committee led by the CRO has being grossly, unfair, discriminatory and biased, demonstrated misuse of power and undermined democracy
Fairness and justice should prevail
That's very unfair. Biased Union.

Why is there always constant discrimination to international students, I would request the union to ensure there is a transparency recount as my friend worked very hard, something is behinds this, I can sense manipulation.
