The Student Grievance Committee met for the first time last week to discuss the allegations of election code violations.

At the first meeting the committee members read through the paperwork detailing allegations of election code infractions.

According to French Department chair and committee member, Yvette Lasserre, the committee feels they need more feedback on the De Anza Student Body bylaws and the election code.

The committee will be meeting again this week to discuss these bylaws and weigh the importance of the alleged infractions.

The members of the Student Grievance Committee include: Susan Stann, an ESL instructor who is chairing the committee, Greg Elderman, student at large, and Lasserre.

The election grievances brought before the committee fall into three major categories: offensive flyers, listing of unofficial club and senatorial endorsements on flyers and using DASB resources to make flyers

These are the same infractions brought before the DASB Elections Committee by DASB presidential candidates Stephanie Lagos and John Carlsen and their running mates.

But because they felt the Elections Committee was biased toward candidates Binh Ly and Les Leonardo, Lagos and Carlsen took their grievances to the Student Grievances Committee

The Student Grievance Committee is a standing committee that hears grievances from any student who feels they have been wronged by campus policy.
