However, we also have a number of comments for the Students' Union. This whole process has raised a number of serious questions that need to be addressed. How was SU policy allowed to develop to the point that the elected SU officials were able to restrict our right to hold their decisions and policies to account? We welcome the announcement that these policies are to be reviewed. However we also feel that the implementation of these policies by the officers needs to be reviewed also.

We also hold serious concerns about the transparency with which the SU has acted during this matter. This is most seriously due to the continued refusal to inform the Society of where the original complaint against us originated. We also believe that the policy of the SU to not formally minute the original disciplinary panel meeting, to which we were not allowed to attend, is a further impediment to this. We believe that, given the fact the Panel is composed of our elected officials, taking action to correct this would improve their accountability to the members.

Finally, while we are pleased to have our access to social media returned, we are disappointed that it took a massive public outcry to happen. We would also like to reiterate that we are yet to receive the public apology for the disproportionate action taken by the SU. We will continue to await this. Most of all, we are just happy that the right to free speech has won out, and will continue to do so.
