The Student Assembly elections committee passed Resolution 59 at their Feb. 29 meeting, during which they updated the election rules to include a tabling requirement along with a documented form of student engagement. Some S.A. members supported the tabling policy, saying that the policy would save time and increase student engagement with the candidates. Parikh said that in light of historically low turnout in S.A. elections, revising the election rules to encourage more student engagement could potentially improve voter participation. Petitioning involves candidates reaching within their social network to gather signatures, while tabling would expose candidates to the student body at-large, Parikh explained. The S.A. approved the amendment in a 14-9 vote before passing the amended election rules.

Amid concerns from the Cornell community about the University’s Interim Expressive Activity Policy, the Student Assembly unanimously passed Resolution 58 on Feb. 22, which called for the policy’s suspension. The S.A. requested that the University suspend this policy until a process for formal consultation with the University assemblies is finalized. It also calls for the policy to be suspended until a process for formal consultation with the Cornell assemblies is agreed upon. “The Interim Expressive Activity Policy states that it will be enforced through ‘the appropriate office for disciplinary action,’” the resolution reads. “This interim policy appears to be in direct reaction to the rise of protest[s], rallies and demonstrations on the Ithaca campus,” the resolution states.
