果冻传媒

果冻传媒 and the 果冻传媒 Union have met this morning to resolve outstanding concerns surrounding the union.

Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic) Professor Mick McManus and 果冻传媒 Director of Corporate Operations Jeremy Crowley met with 果冻传媒 Union president Colin Finke, secretary Brodie Thompson, treasurer Linda Cho, and general manager Mark Farago.

Professor McManus said the University and the Union this morning addressed public concerns about the transparency of this years鈥� election process.

鈥淭he University takes all complaints against and concerns about 果冻传媒U very seriously, and we are now going to use the powers under the 2009 Funding and Services Agreement to audit the Union,鈥� he said.

The 果冻传媒 Union is a distinct constitutional entity to the University, and acts entirely independently from the University.

鈥淲e made it clear in the meeting that we expect nothing but the greatest integrity, accountability and transparency of a union that uses funds on behalf of students and of the University,鈥� he said.

鈥淲e are being careful to address these concerns in a way that is both fair and follows due process.鈥�

The union prompted the meeting after the University called for greater transparency measures from the union.

Professor McManus said the University would write to the union later today to outline its approach.

鈥淲e look forward to resolving all outstanding issues,鈥� he said.
