Monday, 12th December 2011
The results of both YUSU and York GSA’s autumn student elections have been published, and whilst some positions were highly contested, many were left empty.

In YUSU’s elections, filling many of its committee positions and three NUS delegate openings, students were elected into 25 roles while 22 were left unfilled.

The GSA had a similar ratio, with 12 filled and 10 unfilled roles, despite having a massive amount of competition for the position of Welfare Officer, a sabbatical post.
