VeSte biggest in Student Council

The votes have been counted in the Student Council election. VeSte will get eight seats, S&I three and CSF one. Rector magnificus Carolien Kroeze presented the election results last Tuesday on the stage in Forum.

Of the 12,222 students eligible to vote, 3,722 actually cast a vote (over 30 per cent). 2,321 of the votes went to VeSte, 937 to S&I and 447 to CSF. ‘I’m very pleased we had an election again after it didn’t go ahead last year,’ said Kroeze before announcing the results. ‘It is important for students to get a say in what direction the university takes.’

The Student Council election didn’t go ahead last year because there were only 11 candidates for the 12 seats on the council. A 12th Student Council member was found eventually.
