Senate to question court nominees
The student senate will consider a bylaw revision at 7 p.m. today in the Arcola/Tuscola Room of the Martin Luther King Jr. University Union.
If approved, the bylaw will adhere to the newly revised student body constitution that eliminated the three districts, on-campus, off-campus and at-large, senate members could identify with while running for office.
Jason Sandidge, chair of the university development and recycling committee, will be considered to serve as the chair of the bylaw revision adoption committee.
Set to join Sandidge in the committee are Mark Olendzki, vice president for student affairs, and Zach Caskey, who is up for approval to join the student senate.
Four other students will be considered to fill the remaining seats on the student senate, including Michelle Martin, John Poshepny, Roberto Luna and Blake Pierce.
Student Body President Michelle Murphy’s nominations to the student supreme court will also submit to questions from the senate members prior to approval.
Also on the agenda is the approval of a resolution to enact executive rules that members of the executive board must adhere to.
