There's no Anne on Governing Council this year. Given that DT366 is an Aungier St. course, I should know

vague sums on a sheet, doesnt actually tell you what the money is spent on...

821,000 on payroll? who exactly is getting paid?
40,000 on training? what training?

So, you ask what it's being spent on, then you call it a 'waste of resources' before anyone gives you an answer...you're just brilliant!

If you were actually in any way not trolling for the sake of it, I would suggest getting involved in the SU to try impliment change. Unfortunately then I may have to interact with you at some point...and that seems rather unpleasant.

Email the president! Moaning about stuff on the internet in a vague and petty manner seems to be your forte!

Also, this is completely off-topic! We're supposed to be discussing the elections here, not arguing about whether you like/dislike the SU!
I'm going to stop entertaining the rants of lazy ignorant trolls now. Bye!

Well then, in that case....

VOTE FOR ME!!! My name's Ron, and I've been running for years and still haven't been elected....

Ok guys, that's enough. I allowed the discussion to sway off topic a little bit but this is ridiculous.

Discuss the election or nothing at all.

If you feel the SU is a waste of money and would like to discuss that, you're more than welcome to start a new thread on the issue.

Any more discussion of non DITSU Election related stuff will result in infractions or bans.

Also, less if the name calling. Similarly, bans will follow if this continues

Kevin St. polls are open from 8.30-8.30 next Tuesday and Wednesday. It'll be facing the shop, beside the doors to the canteen. You just bring your student ID with you and it takes two seconds.

You'll be given 5 ballot papers. 4 of them are for the different positions and one is for to vote on the new constitution for the union.

Make sure to vote for Glenn Fitzpatrick on the blue paper by the way

incompetence is the right answer

It's not everyones review week this week. There was an explanation on the ditsu Facebook a while ago explaining why they were this week though.

Goreyguy,

You seem to have a real chip on your shoulder regarding the SU. Have you had a particularly bad experience with them or something?

Comments like that aren't productive, so please, either contribute properly (and not agreeing is fine, just not one line sweeping statements, back it up, or at least make a reasoned attempt at decent argument) or don't bother commenting at all please - at the moment it's border line trolling.

DIT's rules regarding review week changed this year. Up until now, all campuses(campi?) had the same review week, however this year, each college (Business, Engineering etc) gets to pick their own review week, depending on what suits their needs.

Because of this, there is four (i think) different review weeks, so it's not possible to accommodate every college. However, a lot of student's might possibly be in college over review week (I know I will) doing assignments and the like.

That is the real answer, as to why it's being held on some students' review week -not incompetence.

This was the most appropriate week, as there are different weeks for many of the different schools within DIT. The elections taking place this week means that the lowest percentage of students will be on review week for the elections than any other week it could've been scheduled for, and therefore makes the most sense.

Do some research before you post scathing comments about something you are clearly completely clueless about!

The voting starts tomorrow guys, please vote for me, Glenn Fitzpatrick, on the blue ballot paper
