MSAF Vote: Though the ballot for the Mandatory Student Activity Fee vote was listed on this election; during our election, our campus received guidance from SUNY Student Assembly, our governing body, to remove the question and to hold the MSAF vote in the fall semester. The ballot asks students if they vote to keep the Mandatory Student Activity Fee mandatory or voluntary. This ballot will be a part of our September election with MSAF Fest tentatively planned in conjunction with the Student Involvement Club Fair. Moving this ballot to the fall will have no impact on the operations of the organization for the coming year.
Constitutional Referendums: Though the ballot for seven different Constitutional edits was listed on this election; during our election, our campus received guidance from our governing body and we have chosen to hold the Constitutional Referendum this fall semester. This ballot will be a part of our September election that will kick off with MSAF Fest tentatively planned in conjunction with the Student Involvement Club Fair. Moving this ballot to the fall will have no impact on the operations of the organization for the coming year.
Thank you to all the students who ran for positions and those who voted in this year’s election. We appreciate your understanding with moving two ballots (MSAF Vote & Constitutional Referendum) to the fall semester. We look forward to working with you and for you in the upcoming year.
