【學苑專訊】大學堂宿生會代表畢子朗昨日(1月18日)凌晨發電郵,要求評議會主席譚振聲即日發出開會通知,24小時後處理有關對其及對榮譽秘書沈顯龍之不信任動議(罷免動議),惟直至昨晚11時30分,憲制14日之限已屆滿,譚仍未發出通知。換言之,譚已失卻主持是次會議之權利,須按憲章由其他評議員代理。
然而,譚於晚上11時55發出題為「Lapse of request for council meeting proposed by UHR」的電郵,單方面裁定畢子朗失去評議員資格。譚振聲援引評議會附例Section Eleven,追溯至2012年度大學堂宿生會於去年2月29日的周年大會(Annual General Meeting),指當中未有選舉監察官(Returning Officer)的相關紀錄,故該選舉應視作無效,而大學堂宿生會代表亦作懸空,故此,畢子朗早前提出的不信任動議亦作無效,譚亦於電郵中提及建築學會選舉亦出現相同問題,亦作無效。不過,根據評議會附例Section One) IV) ,附例解釋權在評議會,而非主席,故譚就附例作出的裁決並無任何法理基礎。
自評議會第九次緊急會議期間,譚、沈二人離席後,已有兩名評議員動議召會,譚振聲一概沒有回應。事隔兩個多星期,二人再次同場出現,出席昨晚學生會百周年晚宴。
電郵原文:
Dear all,
In the previous Ninth Emergency Council Meeting, CC has ruled that, due to the absence of returning officer appointed by CC, the election of Executive Committee of Medical Society, HKUSU is void under the Union Council By-laws Section Eleven. Unfortunately, in addition, the 1st Extraordinary General Meeting of Architecture Society, HKUSU (concerning amendment of its constitution), as admitted by ASR, has the same problem on absence of returning officer appointed by CC and this Meeting shall also therefore be void.
In response to the said two void meetings, some Members of the Union Council have subsequently requested CC to have a comprehensive review over all the appointment of returning officers in this Council Session.
Till now, CC has found that the Annual General Meeting of University Hall Students’ Association, HKUSU dated 29 February 2012 was held without record of application of returning officer. As a result, this meeting shall be declared void. Since the executive committee of University Hall Students’ Association was held in its General Meeting , this election is also void. Therefore, at this moment, there is no valid executive committee members of University Hall Students’ Association elected and the seat of UHR on the Union Council shall be vacant.
Since the proposer of the Council Meeting request dated 4 January 2013 has lost the status quo as a Member of the Union Council, the said Council Meeting request shall LAPSE due to absence of a proposer. Shall any Member of the Union Council like to request a Council Meeting to consider motion(s) of no-confidence against CC or HS, please make the request again following the relevant rules and procedures.
CC is also reviewing some other Union sub-organizations concerning appointment of returning officer and may make relevant declaration in due course.
Regards,
CC
