VUWSA elections

It seems there are VUWSA elections next week. VUWSA spent lots of money justifying why their levy should go up, yet is doing a crap job letting students even know about the elections. Jordan Carter is very unhappy, justifiably.

Compulsory membership associations of course have little inecentive to communicate well with their members – after all you can’t leave if they do a crap job. And another great reason for voluntary membership comes in this quote from the VUWSA Campaigns Officer:

“Nick [Kelly], Joel [Cosgrove] and I agreed that the meeting to increase the VUWSA levy was more important than the University fee setting meeting on Monday”

They regard getting to put up their own fees as more important than restricting any fee increases from the university. Hell they will all be invited to the Vice-Chancellor’s Xmas drinks.

Finally for those who are Victoria students and wish to vote, Jeremy Greenbrook-Held, has a list of whom he is voting for, and whom he thinks will win.
