SGA voted new election rules into action last month in hopes more students will run for office next semester.
“Our most distinct changes come from an opinion that both the Court and myself hold: not all students feel free to run in elections,” SGA Chief Justice Sarah Pennington said.
One of the largest changes is the nixing of the slate process. Instead of a slate of senators, college leaders and top four, only SGA President and Executive Vice President candidates are allowed to pair up. They will not be allowed to pool funds or endorse other candidates.
