The editor of Craccum has survived a motion to end his editorship in a special meeting called today at Auckland University.
A motion of no confidence was called against Thomas Dykes who was accused of poor editorship of the Auckland University student magazine.
As per the AUSA constitution, 20 people had petitioned to call the Special General Meeting (SGM) at 1pm, and 200 needed to attend it for the meeting to go ahead, which it did, after a nervous wait on 199 for a short time this afternoon.
The petition claimed that Craccum had become overtly political - specifically left wing - and offensive.
The hour-long meeting allowed students the forum to have their say on the issue, and there were allegations that Dykes hadn't published articles that were slanted to the right.
Dykes disputed that.
