Resolution 55: Approval of the Fall 2013 Elections Rules

Sponsored by: Sarah Balik ‘15, Ulysses Smith ‘13

Whereas, the Student Assembly seeks to maintain a fair elections process;

Whereas, the University Ombudsman has traditionally maintained an appellate role in the SA elections process;

Whereas, the appellate role conflicts with the charge of the Ombudsman to always remain neutral;

Whereas, the SA must respect the charge of the Ombudsman and adapt its elections rules accordingly.

Be it therefore resolved, that the SA approves and adopts the attached elections rules.

Respectfully Submitted,

Sarah Balik ‘15
Executive Vice President-Elect of the Student Assembly

Ulysses Smith ‘13
President-Elect of the Student Assembly

(Reviewed by: Executive Committee, 4/29/2013)
