Chan, I advise you to collect a BX-283 form from room 2.57 and hand the completed form to your allocated welfare representative, whereupon they will promptly discard of it in an environmentally sustainable manner.

Happy to help!

There is a Student Code of Conduct produced by the University which, if broken, carries with it its own consequences.

See these two links for more information:

Has the president of USSU got the power to ban people from university properties because he was called a bully?

I was called ’silly bugger’, ‘homo’ (I am heterosexual so it is kind of offensive to me right?)…etc at uni by some fellow students. May I suggest them to be banned from student union too? What is the procedure of such action?

Please get back to me, thanks. x

A brief point of clarity.

There is nothing in the constitution which states that the Disciplinary Procedure is the “property of trustee board”, as Matthew Webber claimed. He made a reference to one clause in the bye-laws which did nothing to substantiate his case in this regard in that it said neither explicitly or omplicitly what he claimed to be the case.

As such, his reasoning was more a re-invention of the constitution rather than a subjective interpretation. The current arrangement of USSU puts the AGM above the Trustee Board in the pecking order. Nowhere does it afford the President power of veto over what is presented to AGM.
