CRSRS referendum a success for student leaders

The success of the Codified Rules for Student Regent Selection (CRSRS) referendum last January 26-31 was dependent on the yes and no votes of UP students.

And this time, they delivered.

According to the final tally released by the Philippine Collegian, about 26,818 or 55 percent of the 47,365 total UP students voted. Among those who voted, 19,608 or 73 percent voted yes, while 6,747 or 26 percent voted no.(See final results of CRSRS referendum at the Philippine Collegian�s Multiply site)
