Student Government saw the resignation of Rep. Milan Iezzi ‘28 last week, opening applications for her general body seat on Feb. 13.

Iezzi, who lost her bid for Student Government president in November, said she still had “a lot of respect” for the organization, but that she was looking to get more involved in other spaces.

With Student Government’s largely overhauled constitution facing final approval this weekend, the organization spent much of its Feb. 19 meeting chipping away at the rules and procedures that would bring the new document to life.

A major change in the new constitution will shift the appointment of general body representatives (soon to be called “senators,” if approved) from a selection process to an election process. In addition to voting for executive board members (soon to be “cabinet members”), students will vote for senate representation in their grade level.

Members discussed how to avoid the election becoming a “popularity contest.”

“We are aware that’s definitely a factor,” President Allie Waxman ‘28 said. The representatives drafting the new rules emphasized that there were positives and negatives to both systems.

The body also voted to revoke the club status of three inactive student organizations, as recommended by Rep. Emerson Casper ‘28, the chair of the student organizations committee. The clubs included Women in Physics, Athletes of Color and club softball.

Budget allocations were deliberated and approved in secret, something the organization deems a fairness measure. While $540 was requested, $2,666.10 was allocated; the discrepancy between the two numbers was due to the club budget appeal process, where rejected requests can be reconsidered.

Rep. Anoosh Ahsan ‘28 had an excused absence.
