SA Briefs: 3 takeaways from Monday’s meeting
Here are three takeaways from Monday night’s Student Association meeting.
1. Elections
Parliamentarian James Franco presented the Election and Campaign Reformation Bill that would restrict write-in candidates’ ability to set up portable polling stations. Instead, write-in candidates would have to direct students to MySlice to vote. The assembly will vote on this bill at the next meeting on Monday.
2. Dark Elegy
Recorder Eric Evangelista presented a resolution for SA to support a petition for Syracuse University to house Dark Elegy, a memorial composed of 76 sculptures of women, depicting the exact moment when they learned that their loved one had been killed in the 1988 Pan Am Flight 103 terrorist attack. The assembly will vote on this resolution at the next meeting on Monday.
3. Student Activities
Mary Holland, a program coordinator for the Office of Student Activities, announced at least 100 registered student organizations have to drop in the Student Activities office by Friday to go over their registration forms or else they will lose their status as an RSO. This year, the office found that their OrgSync database is out-of-date, Holland said. This means that many of the rosters for RSOs were inaccurate, so information about registering organizations was not getting out to the student body. Their office is in Room 126 in the Schine Student Center.
