AGM inquorate again as only 0.3% attend

Only 61 people out of 22,000 students turned up this week to the Student Union's Annual General Meeting. This kept the meeting inquorate. The AGM is the only chance apart from the election that unelected students can have a voice. Due to it being inquorate (under 200 students in attendance) nothing could validly be voted on, only a informal question and answer session took place. The President (above) could not attend, despite knowing about the AGM date last March. He is currently on a visit in India with Ken Livingstone. There was much anger from the students who did turn up at the fact he had not attended, and many questions for him were directed at the other officers.

Rumours of a protest, after the SU rejected all motions submitted, failed to materialise. There would have been no motions to vote on if over 200 had showed up. SU excuses, that the advertised deadline was lapsed on all 12 motions, have been widely debunked. The University is now investigating the matter.

Last year the meeting was not rescheduled. University movers and shakers, and the university itself, will keep a keener eye on attempts this year.
