2010 Student Election
Last night’s Senate meeting began with going over the revisions in the Bylaws that dealt with SGA’s Judicial Restructuring; these revisions will be finalized next meeting before the Black and Gold awards.
The Senator’s then discussed the topic of Monday’s Commons hours: the 2010 Student Election. Overall the elections went well (2nd largest voter turnout with 2,368 votes) but there were still areas for improvement. Some students thought that there was more a sense of pressure to vote rather than to understand the candidates and what they stood for/ planned to do. In addition there wasn’t much advertising until right before the voting time period, lack of coverage in the Retriever Weekly, and no debates between the candidates to address major issues.
How was your experience with the election? What did you think went well and what things do you think needed improvement?
Also, next week common hours will be addressing questions about financial aid next year with the tuition increase. And be sure to stop by for the Smoking Policy Forum which will be on Friday 4/30 anytime between 10am-2pm in the Sports Zone!
