USG election updates and information will now be provided to all potential candidates at the start of upcoming elections, regardless of their number of qualifying signatures.
Students will be allowed to run for multiple positions in USG elections, and USG will be required to disclose how much funding individual RSOs receive.
College Council members expressed concerns over potential liability issues if USG were to reserve Student Spaces on behalf of non-RSO student groups and the time commitment required to execute the resolution.
At an ad hoc meeting on Saturday, College Council members passed a resolution introduced by first-year representative Aaron Horowitz to call for Pritzker’s removal over his connections to convicted sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
The council heard appeals from two RSOs that were denied funding by SGFC and the Community Service Fund, voted to introduce ranked choice voting for spring cabinet elections, and placed a referendum to add a Judicial Council on the spring ballot.
CC members clashed over proposals by Class of 2029 Representative Gavin Wynn that would reinterpret the guidelines that inform how much funding RSOs receive from USG and make it easier for CC to change them in the future.
College Council representatives expressed concern about USG running out of funds to distribute to RSOs for the remainder of the year but did not decide how to address the issue during its February 9 meeting.
