Yesterday at our Student Senate meeting, a Constitutional amendment was proposed that would change the procedure for filling vacant class apportioned Senate seats. Under the current procedures, special elections are to be held for the class that has vacant seats. Having just completed an election and still having open Senate seats, we question whether having frequent special elections is a good use of time.
The proposed amendment change the procedure so that the Senate may nominate up to two persons to fill each vacant seat and then vote on the nominees at the following meeting, electing them to finish the remainder of the term.
You can stop by the SGA office to take a look at the proposed amendment and to voice your opinion to your elected representatives.
