BOULDER, Colo. (AP) — Two of the winning presidential candidates in the University of Colorado's student government elections will not be allowed to take office after allegations that they used bribes of cookies and pizzas to gain votes.
The Daily Camera reports (http://bit.ly/1NFz4BH ) that two of the three students on the winning tri-executive ticket have been disqualified for violating campaign rules. CU students elect three student body presidents all running on the same ticket. The third student will take office in May.
A student government appellate court found the two candidates promised cookie cakes and pizzas to students who pledged to vote for them.
CU Chancellor Phil DiStefano will review the student election process that led to the disqualification.
The CU student government oversees roughly $23 million in student fees.
