minutes

public comment

2 people spoke

Abby AACC Housing Commission

A representative from the Housing Commission updated the Senate that Tenants' Rights Week was moved to next week to allow more time for publicity. She shared the upcoming schedule of tabling, service, and panel events, and asked senators to repost their event graphics on Instagram.

Matthew Alumnus

Matthew, an ASUC alumnus, warned the Senate about widespread misinformation claiming the current divestment ballot measure requires a 20% voter turnout to pass. He clarified that turnout thresholds apply exclusively to campus fee referendums and urged the Senate and Elections Council Chair to correct the error before election results are certified.

Senator Margaret Solomon asked a procedural question to clarify if receiving over 50% is required.

Isha Chander Executive Vice President

Isha Chander clarified that the ballot proposition does not require a 20% voter turnout threshold to pass because it is not a key referendum. She mentioned that the Election Council and CLO are both aware of this rule.
