Reading time: about 9 minutesThe Student Assembly engaged in a long debate about Resolution 66: “Reassessing Resolution 21:Approving the Recommendation for the 2026-2028 Student Activity Fee" before ultimately running out of time at their Thursday meeting.

In his formal rejection of Resolution 55, Kotlikoff asserted his strong opposition to the measure. The resolution will now be moved to the top of the third reading calendar for debate at the next Assembly meeting on March 26. “In my opinion, if you're not raising your hand, you should not be running for re-election for Student Assembly,” he said, framing this legislative engagement as a baseline expectation for holding office in the Assembly.

Faculty and staff who volunteer and complete specialized training could be authorized to carry guns to respond to potential active shooter situations.
