Rectorial hustings

Photographers and reporters are welcome to attend the hustings which commence at 5pm Wednesday 25 February in Dundee University Students' Association, Balfour Street, Dundee.

The three candidates for the University of Dundee's next Rector will gather in Dundee University Students' Association (DUSA) this afternoon for the traditional hustings where students can quiz candidates on issues affecting them.

Lorraine Kelly, Lesley Riddoch and David Shayler will each be given 20 minutes to put their case to the student body and will field questions from the gathered student audience.

The rectorial election will take place on Friday 27 February. The winning candidate will succeed the current Rector Fred MacAulay whose three year term of office finishes this Spring.
