Request to temporarily reinstate disqualified candidates denied

There will be no temporary reinstatement for the two Concordia Student Union candidates disqualified last week.

The CSU Judicial Board denied the request yesterday morning. A Better Concordia presidential candidates Schubert Laforest and VP academics and clubs Lucia Gallardo will likely have to wait until the final decision appears next Friday.

The Judicial Board claimed there was not enough evidence proving the disqualifications were unjustified.

According to an public statement, Laforest and Gallardo only provided evidence they were currently registered. But the JB said they needed proof they were enrolled in the time of the nomination period last week.

So far, there is no sign the candidates provided the required documents.
