CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – Graduate students at Harvard University allege university officials meddled in a November union election by preventing some students from voting.

The Harvard Graduate Students Union – United Auto Workers filed objections with the National Labor Relations Board last week over alleged interference by school officials during the November election, according to the group’s Facebook page.

“As many saw at the polls during the election, Harvard failed to provide an accurate list. Hundreds of student workers were left off the eligible voter list provided by the employer to the NLRB in advance of the election, leading to confusion about who was eligible to vote. This omission of such a large number of potential voters – a substantially larger number than the margin of the preliminary vote count – prevented a fair, democratic election,” a Dec. 30 post read.

“The university’s decision to use preferred names on the voter list, knowing that identification would be required, added more confusion to the voting process. We believe that this policy was particularly prejudicial to hundreds of international students whose legal name did not match the name Harvard provided for the voter list.”

The election, held Nov. 16 and 17, resulted in a vote of 1,272 in support of the union and 1,456 against with the eligibility of more than 300 voters still unresolved.

Harvard officials also filed an objection to the election that asks the NLRB to count the vote of one student who wrote on the ballot, Harvard spokeswoman Anna Cowenhoven told The Harvard Crimson.

“The NLRB will conduct hearings on the objections (in January), and could call for a revote in an election whose results have already been delayed due to questions of voter eligibility,” according to the news site.

Cowenhoven insisted that university officials did their part to ensure an accurate voter list and fair election.

“The University and the HGSU-UAW reached an election agreement to define the eligible voters prior to the vote, and the University worked diligently to develop that voter list,” she wrote in a statement to the Crimson. “Our shared goal was and is to count every eligible vote.”

Union organizers allege they alerted university officials to problems with the voter list well ahead of the election, while a university administrator told the Crimson the school was unaware of the problems until election day.
