The meeting was focused on the concerns of the EC, but the controversial e-mail from Thursday night, signed by UC Vice President Kia J. McLeod ’10, also came up in the discussion.

In a speech to the audience, McLeod said that her actions that night were motivated by a sense of urgency to try to preserve the Council’s reputation. The e-mail alleged impropriety in the election process, citing then-Vice Presidential candidate Hysen’s potential access to the UC’s vote database and calling for a re-vote.

McLeod acknowledged yesterday that the tone of the e-mail was “inappropriate” but said that she had only good intentions for the Council.

CORRECTION

An earlier version of the Nov. 24 news article "After Chaos, UC Okays New Leaders" misattributed a quote about the investigation of potential vote tampering to George J.J. Hayward ’11. In fact, the quote should have been attributed to Phillip Morris ’12.

CLARIFICATION

An earlier version of the Nov. 24 news article "After Chaos, UC Okays New Leaders" stated that an e-mail penned by Kia J. McLeod '10 alleged impropriety in the election process, citing "access to the UC's vote database" by Eric N. Hysen '11. To clarify, the e-mail stated that Hysen "might still have access" to the software and added that former Vice-President Randall Sarafa passed down all the UC passwords to Hysen upon his graduation.
