Student Government

Students passed referendums to replace ranked-choice voting in certain elections and to divide at-large seats for four schools into undergraduate and graduate positions.

Senators unanimously passed the Band Aid Act to codify the bylaws “to improve efficiency within the senate” with updates on senate operations.

The senate voted to establish a program for students in financial need to receive discounted admission to ticketed SBA social events at its meeting Tuesday.

The SA will hold a special election on two referenda Wednesday and Thursday, which could reform election voting and divide at-large seats in future races.

The SBA Senate urged the University to enroll part-time law students and the rest of the student population in U-Pass at its meeting Tuesday.

SA leaders urged the senate Monday to involve more Jewish students in the SA after a Torah was desecrated at a fraternity house Saturday.

The SA approved 17 percent of funding allocations that student organizations requested for the spring semester, according to financial documents.

The court ruled that first-year students are represented by their school-specific senator so they would be represented twice if seats were reapportioned.

The resolution condemns the words “illegal,” “alien” and “assimilation” in reference to undocumented immigrants.

The Student Association Senate approved more than $440,000 in general allocations to student organizations at its meeting Monday.
