𝗢𝗙𝗙𝗜𝗖𝗜𝗔𝗟 𝗦𝗧𝗔𝗧𝗘𝗠𝗘𝗡𝗧
on the CEd Festival tabulation

We, the Guild of English Major Students Executives of the College of Education, would like to clarify the concerns regarding the tabulation of results from the recently concluded activity.

Following a thorough and collective deliberation with the Local Council, all organization heads were given the opportunity to review and verify the tabulation. While adjustments were made due to deductions and corrections in score inputs, the final results resulted in a change of Overall Scores.

As representatives of our respective programs, we have mutually agreed to uphold the final tabulation and recognize the deserving champions and runners-up. This decision was reached collectively, with fairness, understanding, and unity in mind.

We also agreed to maintain confidentiality on specific tabulation details to prevent confusion and unnecessary conflict. This was formally acknowledged through a non-disclosure agreement among all organization heads.

With this, we stand as one with the Local Council in affirming the final results. We respectfully encourage everyone to support this unified decision and to raise any further concerns through proper internal channels.

Let us continue to promote 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗰𝘁, and 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘀𝗺𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 within our College.
