Resolution Approving Nominations to University Hearing and Review Boards

Whereas, the University Assembly (UA) is tasked to “select the members of the Hearing and Review Boards” per the UA Charter; and

Whereas, the Codes and Judicial Committee of the UA (CJC) has interviewed candidates for openings of student seats on the University Hearing and Review Boards; and

Whereas, the CJC has scored and ranked the candidates on a scale of 10 to 2 with 10 being the highest possible score and 2 being a recommendation to reject the candidate; and

Whereas, the CJC has ranked the candidates as follows:

Score of 10 (highest possible): No candidates

Score of 9: David Harwitt, Jessica Saba, Kayla De Leon, Folajimi Fowose

Score of 8: Amanda Chan, Christa Nianiatus

Score of 7.5: Randall Ochs

Score of 7: Talia Bronfin, Saba Vahdat, Philip Andriole, Shayra Kamal, Tyler Ehrlich, Shipeng Fu

Score of 6: Gabrielle Fernandez, Matthew Spiers, Ariel Kaplan

Score of 5: Deborah Fisher, Kimberly Wang, Sheela George, Raj Kannappan

Score of 4: No candidates.

Score of 3: No candidates.

Score of 2 (not recommended for service): No candidates

; and

Whereas, the CJC has unanimously resolved to fill any student openings on the boards with these candidates in accordance with the following priorities (in order of decreasing priority): (1) availability, (2) ranking/score, (3) in a manner consistent with maintaining a diverse and inclusive pool of board members, but only insofar as to break a tie between available and equally ranked/scored candidates; and

Whereas, the Office of Assemblies has yet to determine the number of current student openings for the pool of board members; and

Be it therefore resolved, that any student openings on the board be filled in accordance with the herein described recommendations of the CJC.

Respectfully submitted,
The University Assembly Codes and Judicial Committee
