Discussion: Speaker Lehto: Allocations should have taken care of this on their own voting
on grey area, for checks and balances. Point of information has nothing to OSA has no
over sight on Student Allocation Committee elections. STAND , reasons have never been
brought up for not being able to serve on it in the past and is now available. College
Republicans us holding back someone that wants to participate. Club Nipon: questions for
Michael Riley - why were you not appointed prior to this? Answer: had served on
committee last year and class schedule did not permit him to participate, he recently
dropped the class and would like to be involved and wanted to jump on board with student
allocations again. PSSA wants to apologize to Michael Riley, nothing personal but for the
interest of transparency elections were carried two weeks ago. College Republicans would
you be opposed bylaws followed certain standard and not run again or wait to be
appointed? Reginald Parson, as allocation member not Chief of Staff - read a letter from
Allocations Chair at senate and this was a simple mistake and as far as he knows
nominations will be taken March 19th we are not sure another allocation election will
occur. PSSA – to Michael Riley do you plan on running for the allocation chair position?
PSSA: Motion to table uncomfortable if a separate branch’s bylaws are not honored and
respected. Stand tabling is the same as voting no time. Did senate table? Answer: No
Senate approved him being appointed to the Allocations committee.
