Spicy Distance SGM delayed

The controversial M@D SGM, which was to vote on enforcing a code of conduct on the Co-Presidents, has been delayed from its original date of 19 May to an unspecified date. In a letter written by Richard Stephens, Danielle Jones and Salla Garam, they say that this decision has not been taken lightly, but that the petitioners of the SGM thought it was in the best interest of M@D members, remaining board and the Co-Presidents. “This postponement will enable some much-needed breathing space as well as ensure due process and the constitution is followed,” they say. 

They continue, “The Co-Presidents are asked during this period of their obligation to provide moral and visionary leadership as well as build and maintain positive relationships with relationships with relevant stakeholders,” as well as that continuing to actively participate in governance alongside their remaining board member. 

Mysteriously, the letter says, “Of concern has been some communications with members of M@D which falls short of what would be deemed appropriate and have impacted on the well-being of individual members.” 

As to when the SGM will happen is unclear, but with the semester rapidly coming to a close, it’s anyone’s guess!
